Yes, only in America, the land of the Big Mac and supersized french fries is there this sort of access to the gym... It makes me want to put a paper bag over my head in shame. I posted this for Azra (one of the blog followers) because I don't think they have this feature at the gyms in South Africa.
I think the main attraction of the gym is the juice bar. High sugar beverages (that you "burn off") and chairs where you can sit and watch the beautiful people sweat.
Oh, yes, you can go to a machine that moves while you linger, trying to allow your muscles to flex. But you tire of that and need a late frappacino with extra whipped cream or a choco-mocha smoothie - hold the whipped cream if you're on a diet.
This blog has many elements and depending on your interests, may pique your imagination...or not. I urge you to be unreasonable. Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. The unreasonable persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves, therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people. The more unreasonable you are, the more likely you are to enjoy this blog. All men dream, but not equally.
If you're a socialist or a Marxist, you'll find that I poke fun at your absurd notions of "good government" on a regular basis. So you might not wish to follow this blog because you'll be offended.
John Locke said, "One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant." I like what Locke said. We can't theorize without adequate information because when we do we inevitably twist facts to suit theories rather than theories to suit facts. In this blog and in my life, I try to maintain this perspective.
Either you believe in our essential spark of shared divinity, or you succumb to our human insecurity. Either way your conscience lets you slice it, the main thing is to earnestly do what is right at the time.
Today, I balance work and play as much as anyone can. All things remaining equal, play is more important. Life is short - it's important to make every day count for something, if only to yourself.
I'm a former tinker/tailor/soldier/sailor who has now decided that maybe it really wasn't all done for nothing.

I'm sure that when you go onto the gym, the machines move and the exerciser need only hold on to them.
You really *do* have an awesome blog.

Your blog is so funny!
LOL LOL...yeah you're right, we don't have this here in South Africa. We actually have to climb stairs *gasp* lol.
And the only drinks they serve at our gyms are coffee, black or with milk and health stuff like bran muffins.
However, most people dont go there to eat, we go to work off the excess pasta from the night before :)
