We joined a gym. This is something Jeremy always does in China and I of course wanted to join. During my time studying exercise in college, we often had to figure out the main sources for people not wanting to go to the gym. There were a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest deterrents was the fact that people might be watching you. I had gotten over the fear of going to the gym in the states. I enjoyed it when I got to go work out.
Here …it is a different story. You go to the gym knowing with out a doubt your every move is being watched!! Haha Talk about intimidating. I am trying to ignore, but when you are doing abs and you have an audience…its can be a bit odd! I hope to get the courage to start joining the classes our gym offers. Although it might take some time, considering, the first class I saw on the schedule was belly dancing!
I now know where that comes from. The past two nights on our way home I have seen cars stopped with doors open at a red light, with people switching seats. They weren't racing or even in a slight hurry. I think they just thought to themselves.."I don't want to drive....so I am going to get in the back seat." haha anyways...I started laughing remembering as a kid friends talking about a chinese Firedrill. Its just ironical that i am in china and actually saw one.
