My first day in the Gym

We  were all busy lifting weight over  here and there, some guys still standing on the treadmill yet to make up their minds whether to switch the damn thing on or not, a pot bellied guy was groaning over his all over sudden shrunken t-shirt and at that moment is when she walked in strutting with her head held high, her thin anorexic like frame perched atop high heel stilettos and dangling a huge hand bag on her  equally thin hands (I wonder how they manage to carry such), we were all in owe, you could hear a pin drop at that moment since all activities had stopped all over sudden – what was she coming to do in the gym yet she was ‘’fit’’.

With our mouths still in ‘’o’’ mode she proceeded to the changing area wriggling her small frame out of her tight leggings and lo! She came out with the kind of shorts you see with Nivea advert models ( I think she thought at that moment that she could be one of them) her legs were long, full of tendons you had to use a microscope to make out a muscle and wonder of wonders she  donned a vest showing a showing her collar bone – I swear that depression at the collar bone was so deep it could act as a reservoir. All this time no one said a word not even from the gym instructor he too was in a lull like all of us, the spectacle before us had brought a massive confusion in the house. The lady seemed to enjoy all this attention she was receiving and when she moved to one of the treadmills at the corner, before stepping on the belt, she looked at us as if seeking an approval.

She hit the button and the thing moved, and then her thin frame responded, the spectacle was a kin to the metallic skeleton of the commando movie, and then she increased the tempo that is when our jaws dropped when she fell face down on the belt with a loud thud everyone ducked by instinct, the belt pushed her over the floor and in a quick rejoinder the gym instructor and all of us came to life and ran towards her thinking the worst. After flapping and pouring cold water on her, she came to life and all that the gym instructor asked her was ‘’would you like something to eat?
