Hitting The Gym On Monday? Here’s What To Expect

I have a confession: as of the first day of January 2016, even my stretchiest of jeans no longer fit me. Isn't it incredible that we spend all year trying to be the best versions of ourselves; eating (mostly) well, getting out for fresh air and exercising (my exercise regime consists is 'housework' and 'being a parent' by the way) - only to jack it all in by mid-December and stuff ourselves to the gills with Christmas fare? We get to the beginning of the new year with bad skin from all the chocolate breakfasts, greasy hair from lounging around in our PJs for days on end without washing, misshaped bodies from two weeks of fry-ups washed down with mimosas.. and enough self-loathing to force us out the door on January the 1st out there into the worst place ever invented on Planet Earth - THE GYM. I have frequented several gyms in my time (shout out to the 'Gym Of Thrones' in Dublin on Aston Quay!) and used to enjoy it for the bit of time out before or after work. As a working mum, I certainly haven't had the time (nor the inclination, to be honest) for the past few years, but that is not to say I don't remember all the, shall we say, 'unusual' characters that one might meet there. YouTube channel Buff Dudes have just released this hilarious video called 'Gym Wildlife' which you will totally appreciate if you are already a gym goer OR if you are planning to venture in this January. Either way, you are a brave woman. *There is a little bit of bad language so careful around the kiddies but other than that, enjoy!* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1GUQVo1Lps
