Pelvic Thrust Gym Guy

I had a really great workout during my last trip to the gym. Since starting back up a few weeks ago, it was my best run, yet another confirmation of my insane decision to allow myself to slack for the past year and a half. I owe my rejuvenation to the music genre of techno. Recently uploaded a few old school techno songs to my iPod that really brought me back to the days of clubbing. Hot, sweaty crowd of random strangers grinding and feeling each other up. Good clean fun for the youngsters. Apparently, that brought a spring back in my step, as I increased my treadmill speed from 6.0 to 6.1. Yes, baby steps. But I also ran 5 miles instead of 4, which is what I had been doing. I'll feel content when I consistently do 6 m at 6.4.

After my run, I went to do sit-ups on the mats. Fifteen crunches later, out of the corner of my eye, unusual movement demanded my attention. Nearby, there was a young man performing a bizzare routine on one of those giant exercise balls. His back was halfway slumped against the ball which allowed him to use the strength of his lower body to launch himself into an upward thrusting position. Now, this was no subtle thrust. The repetitive thrusts were straight out of a porn!! To make matters worse, his gawky body matched his equally ungraceful movement. It was a train wreck. I couldn't look away. Maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he's discovered some phenomenal ab workout. Even if that were the case, is it worth the humiliation? I think not. Especially not in public. Until I see him with a washboard stomach, I'll stick with my standard sit-ups.
