Busy Girl Eva goes to the gym, for 3 seconds

Last night as I drove up the final half a mile stretch to my house, the traffic ground to a standstill as usual. I just happened to stop before the turning for the gym, whose second exit just happens to come out past my house.

Hee hee... I can drive through and out the other side!

So, I followed a stream of cars into the gym. The car park was absolutely packed, I've never seen anything like it... every single parking space was full, I can only imagine how hideous it was to actually try and work out with that many people packed into the gym.

Funnily enough, research released yesterday stated that we are going to the gym more than ever, with more of us having membership (I think the whole country has membership to my local gym). But, and it's a big but, as a nation we're still getting fatter and more unfit.

That's because they assume going to the gym means we're actually doing something. I've seen, and been one of, the ladies who flits around doing nothing, trying to look busy pumping a 1kilo weight pointlessly.

Anyway, last night, I merrily drove past all the cars, to the second exit and scooted down the road, loving my cheeky short cut. By walking to the car in the first place, I probably did as much of a work out as half the people in the gym...

If you're off to the gym today, hope you put in a bit more effort than me! Have a good one,

Love Eva x
