Gym Etiquette

Image
I' m into my fourth week of the gym and I'm doing pretty well . It 's been five years since I was last at a gym for any length of time . I have noticed that almost everybody is glued to their phone in between exercise. Even while lifting weights or on the treadmill , they can be on the phone . You go to the changing rooms and you'll find someone taking up the limited space staring down at a screen. This need to be with your phone the whole time has become a pet peeve of mine. You won't catch me around the gym with my mobile in hand.  The gym can often be busy, making it even more important to be considerate to others.

Image created by Chat GPT As I've started the gym again for the umpteenth time , I thought I'd look back at my history through my tweets. With the help of Chat GPT, I have translated some of them into Spanish (so don't blame me if you find mistakes). I would like you to translate them back into English and let's compare them to the original tweets. If you click on the red expression, you'll see the original tweet. You can reply to some in Twitter. TodavĆ­a estoy lleno despuĆ©s de la comida de hoy. De verdad tengo que ponerme a dieta y volver al gimnasio. Mi barriga solo crece y creceā€¦ No he ido al gimnasio en unos 4 aƱos, pero hoy superĆ© mi reticencia y me apuntĆ© otra vez. Estoy orgulloso de mĆ­. ConseguĆ­ una buena oferta para el gimnasio.
