Interesting People (in fitness center)

1. Wild Boar: If you have seen a wild boar, you know the characteristics, big fat tummy which belies unexpected amount of strength. These type of people have all the physical characteristics of an obese, while you can see them lifting big weights with ease. Unfortunately they are too much in a hurry to try different things within sight to reduce the big fat tummy.

2. Mouse: A person with a slight yet well toned body and an impatient gaze is surely this character. These people are regularly irregular. They are regular in coming to fitness center. I say they are irregular because they never have a set routine. They keeping smelling for a free instrument and decide to do use it when it becomes free. A quick biceps before moving on to bicycling before moving on to push-ups is how they go around the gym. May be this explains why they have a well toned body but never a well built body.

3. Horse: Sincere to the extent of being obnoxious. These are the people who ask most questions to the instructor and they follow all the instructions diligently. They also are the ones who are most immaculately dressed for the occasion. And surprisingly they hardly ever sweat much, how much ever they exercise. This may be because they are designed not to spoil their clean white attire. Well! Inspite of all their sincerity these people never really succeed in exercising well because they invariably are more concerned about something other than their own health, some times its work, sometimes about helping others etc. These reasons cause them to miss gym more often than is good for health.

4. Lion: He is the king of the workplace. Generally a high-profile manager with big responsibilities at a young age, this guy is the king wherever he goes. Even here in gym, he is the person who runs the most. Like power-lunch, power-nap, he also takes power-jog and power-weights. He knows what he is in the gym for, does it and moves out. He is in control of everything, even time. Not even one extra minute is spent in unnecessary pursuits.

5. Peacocks: They are always interested in displaying their tail, and you know why the tail is for display. Exactly! The main audience is the opposite sex. These people have always one eye on the door awaiting the arrival of the preferred one's. And if the preferred one does does not turn up, and that is the end of that days activities. They peacock just gathers its tail and walk away. And last but not the least, this does not mean that the peacock always have a beautiful tail. Most of the peacocks I have seen are with withered and discolored feathers.

6. Cuckoo: A cuckoo lays eggs in other persons nest to get free service. Some people want everything for free. They want hot shower bath in office (which is incidentally part of gym plan) but dont want to pay for it. Reason: They are not using the fitness center facilities, they are only using the shower. Others wont pay for using the equipments because they are using it only for 15 days a month. Rest of the days they are on travel. And these people shamelessly continue with their act even when caught red-handed by the authorities. They know how to squirm out of any situation without paying.
