Well, as a small kid would be exicted to start his primary
school, i was excited to start my workouts for the first day at the Gym.
Bubbling with fresh energy, I stood beside my Mom and Dad who toiled and burnt
their calories in the Gym for a couple of years! They were the fittest in my
family if you don’t mconsider my Grandpa who is an Asian-level Veteran Athlete
who took part in events that comprised Javelin Throw, 100 metres dash and 80
metres Hurdles, and aged 75+ ! “Enchante”.
So, there I stood waiting for my trainee to come while
watching my parents workout in the Cardios. And there was a slight creaking sound of the door
and I swung my head to see who it was. And as I had thought, it was my trainee.
My parents introduced me to him, as they knew each other earlier. So, I had a
personal “Fitness Checkup” before I could start my training. As far as my Mom
said, the Fitness Checkup had gone well for everyone. Well, that’d be the same
for me, right?
No.
I was said that I had a stooping shoulder, my right arm was
weak and that I had layers of muscles ( fats, acutally) in the abdominal part
of my body. Now, that was a start. “Okay, lets start with the Cardio (a.k.a
treadmill)”, said the trainee. I mumbled a “Yes”. And started with the lowest
speed within reach, i.e, a 3 point, when I barely walked for 5 whole minutes,
the trainee asked to walk swinging my hands on the side of my body, that
indirectly meant “YOU ARE NOT A 2 YEAR OLD KID TO WALK HOLDING THE BARS OF THE
TREADMILL” and also increased the speed to a 7 point.A great, huge, enormous
and gigantic margin of difference. Annoyed but made up my with audacity and
continued. Time dragged on slowly and never seemed to pass... I turned around
the Gym about 3 times just to find people buzzing with many “
words-which-i-can’t-pronunce” instruments! And in the whole just one thought
was ringing in my mind ‘Where the hell are my parents?’. My hand unvoluntarily
rubbed against the side of body, and felt my iPod in the pocket, feeling
over-joyed i took it out and played a random song that perfectly turned out to
be ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ by Taylor Swift. If the Gym was tangible and
alive, I would’ve definetly sang out this song aloud to it.
Time passed on. And no single person asked me to step out of
the cardio, and when I normally checked the duration it showed 26:54, i.e, 26
mins and 54 sec! “Wow”, I said to myself. A few minutes later my trainee turned
up from nowhere. And said, “I want you to do the ‘EFX’.” Okay, here we go to
the EFX section. Getting up hopes high I stepped on to the
what-we-can-call-a-machine! Even there i started gradually... But as time
moved, my lower body, hips and thies started to ache a little too much. Just 5
minutes passed but I felt as though the universe sucked up my whole energy. I
succesfully got through the EFX too. And the last bit was the cycling.. It was
a cakewalk for me when compared to the other two! At last, it was time to
leave! My heart threatended to burst with joy and happiness. And when i stepped
out of the Gym doors, the only words I said, “HAIYAA JOLLY JOLLY”!!!!!
