At any gym there are always those girls who look very cute the entire time they are there. They have cute workout clothes, fresh makeup and if they push it a little, they may "glisten". I am not one of those girls. On days I workout right after work I walk in with cute clothes on and half fresh makeup. It may even be rubbed off if the work day was hectic. On morning workouts, I am makeup free. Now, lately I have started to wear the "cute" workout clothes but within 20 minutes I am sweaty and gross. I only stopped wearing the IUDM shirt from 2000 and soccer shorts that are 2 sizes too big so that I could actually see the progress I was making in the gym. Not to meet my future husband-which I do think some people do (guys and girls). They consider the gym a healthier happy hour- or preparty.
My thought is that if I am not dripping with sweat at the end of my workout, I am not working hard enough to see the results I want to see. I want to be working hard, building muscle and burning fat when I am there. I struggle with eating healthy more than I do with working out so when I am in the gym for the 60-90 minutes out of the day I am going to go all out.
I read a tweet that said "if you still look cute when you leave the gym, go back in and keep working". I want guys (or girls) to look at me and think that girl is busting her ass instead of that girl looks cute. I workout to look cute outside of the gym-not in it. There are days where I get in my car after showering from a workout and my seat is damp from the drive home after the workout. Yes, it's gross but the dorky part of me enjoys the lingering effect of a strong workout.
How hard do you workout? What do you think of those who make the gym a social hour/dating scene?
