I love the gym, but I still want to look a bit awkward at it. I don't want to look too on top of it, you know?
I'm the kind of guy that if I don't work out, I will get bigger and look like one of the guys who used to play sports.
So while most people dealt with the scale every Monday at the Berea training facility nervous about how high the number was going to be, I was the one that was nervous about how low the number was going to be.
If you are in a gym class with other women, and even if you are in shape, you feel like, 'Do they think my legs are not right?' Since you are supposed to be the perfect one, they look for the defects. It's such an embarrassment.
I walk into a health club locker room and feel an immediate impulse toward scrutiny, the kneejerk measuring of self against other: 'That one has great thighs, this one's gained weight, who's thin, who's fat, how do I compare?'
Gym should be illegal. It's humiliating.
You worry about whether you are match-fit, coming back to the stand-up stage.
I don't care how much you're working out; when you go to put on that bikini, you're like, 'Oh no!'
I hate workout classes... Every time I go into one, my anxiety is really high. I leave immediately - like, before the warm up!
