Finna signed up gym...


One of my goals for early 2021 was to start going to the gym and #FetchMyBody but as a pro-procrastinator, that goal has grown white hair and it's on its' death bed now along with all the stuff I kept on saying I will do "tomorrow" ... 

but the thought of walking shirtless at camps bay revealing my hard-earned abs and biceps holding my beloved crush's hand as we sit at the beach rocks gazing at the horizon where the sun lays to rest still lingers to my mind and I won't be at peace till I try it out.

I said, "It's now or never; time to fetch meself some abs and handers", so today I woke up exactly at  06:00 am, fueled up ready to eat iron bro...few people are at the gym at this hour, so I can didizel' in peace. I wore my favourite black vest, an old short, sneakers and some socks, hand a bottle of water in my ...dawg I looked sexy and sporty in these, so buzz out of res sprinting ,the blistering morning cold ain't gon' hold this man down, on a real note Cape Town weather will leave you frozen ekuseni if ubhayiza dawg but I am pumped, whatever happens, happens so I soldier on.

I got there, I thought I will be the first seems like some people sleep here, I buzzed in, I tried to stay confident but dang, lots of machinery here; stuff I have only seen either on games' or makros' adverts
The pulleys reminded me of my matric's physics paper; the was a guy lifting and we suppose to count...argh  I shook the thought of my head,
 
"abs bro, shredded legs dawg, biceps man gains gains" I whispered my new mantra to myself at least three times till the guy who works at the gym snapped me back to reality with a double-tap on my shoulder, He tells me that he will be showing me around and how to operate the machines, well ...he did exactly that told me a lot and I remember none...He finally takes to an exercise bike and he said I must cycle for at least 25 minutes and call him after, bro!? in my head I was like "man I don want no cycle bro, I want gains GAINS man nxah, I ain't need your help" but I told him "Alright, thanks man". I did the exercise but it was boring, hopped off, went to the weights section, it was time for some action.




In the weights-lifting section, its's was kinda intimidating, people seemed like they know what they are doing, this other do was doing curls with 15kg dumbbells and the lady beside him was doing some barbell squats , everyone was busy nje, so I don't want to look clueless , I didn't call the instructor...went straight for the 10kg dumbbells (lol I am sure it was 10kg) I went "left-right" doing curls with a huge grin on my face, second rep "left-right"...dawg I bit more than I could chew I dropped them like a sack of potatoes and almost sent myself an early grave. in that moment in dawned on me that I know nothing about the gym. 



I had seen enough at the gym, I went back home and not sure if I will return on Monday or not.

  1. I'm surprised there was even a lady in the weights section😂😂. Each time I pass by there, there's always ripped men and it just smells like a lot of testosterone.
