Grandpa's got game

Today, I tried out the high-tech eliptical at my gym. The 70-year-old man next to me who was also using one went faster and longer than I did, and unlike me didn't stop for a break. FML

First impressions

Today, I joined a gym. I’m overweight and not very athletic, so I was nervous. I looked around and tried a treadmill. I start walking at a chill pace, then got ambitious and cranked it to a "light jog." Within seconds, I tripped, fell, and sent the emergency stop button flying across the room. The gym staff ran over and I swear someone said, “Well, at least he’s trying.” FML

On the flipside, I bet that boosted the 70 year old man's mood! "Today, I went on that new fangled walking machine at the locally gym. I went faster AND for a longer duration than the whippersnapper next to me! Didn't stop to dilly dally either ! Ain't that just dandy!" (last sentence translates loosely to "**** yeah!" in oldmanese).

If you're new to the gym, give it time. You'll be there in no time. Stay confident, OP!

First rule of going to the Gym, don't compare your self to the other clients. If we all focused on others instead of our own work out, we'd get nothing done and lose a chunk of self esteem

Don't those things have resistance settings?

Like the Goodlife Gym slogan says here in Canada..."Best yourself". Don't worry about the person next to you. Concentrate on your gains. Your growth. Keep going to the Gym OP. It will ALL get better.
