Gym

I pump my legs. I can feel the strain, as I push myself further. I haven't done this in a while, and my muscles were getting rusty. That is right, I am exercising. On a bike machine thingoe in fact.

Exercise. It is just a new things that most teenagers seem to be obsessed with. Usually, I couldn't care less, as I could eat anything and still shrinking, but the recent winter, which in my case means hibernation from any form of exercise, seems to have halted my surprisingly good metabolism. I have entered the working-out phase. Well, I am just going to start, but I am starting to become self-conscious of my body, which I wish to tone up more, so I can impress my fellow guy friends, and hopefully impress the ladies. (But, to be clear, it is so I can stare at myself in the mirror and marvel in pride once again)

So, what is with this recent trend in working out for males?
Is the testosterone up? Boys not.. finding personal time as much anymore, instead working out so they are 'buff' and can impress the ladies. I never really cared for it before, but I now see the error of my ways, and how I cannot just rely on my boyish good looks, which coincides with my devilishly cheeky cynicism. I have the talking nailed down, and all I need is to learn how to close properly, initiate, and go further in the chase.. as well as improving my physical fitness.

But enough about how I chase women, what is with this recent epidemic of people working out?
One reason would be to impress women. The more obvious reason would be to develop physicality in an effort to intimidate all other guys, and make your territory. Another reason is because they are obsessed with the perfect body. A more common reason would be because they secretly harbour homo-erotic feelings, and love seeing abs of steel, and perfectly oiled chests... I feel so dirty just saying that...
