Health Head-scratcher #1

Over the years, I have noticed some funny situations around fitness and nutrition. We as people, have some habits that are deeply ingrained. These habits can cause a comical situation when put into the context of our routine.

Have you ever seen the busy parking lot scene at a large health club? It is a lot like the mall or grocery store. Most of the spots are taken and there are many cars circling. As people leave, others will line up behind them to get into the closer spot before someone else gets it. This isn’t funny by itself. It makes perfect sense to try and park as close to the door as possible. What makes it funny is the fact that you are going into a building to exercise. If there ever were a time when parking further away would make sense, it would be now. You are at the gym to work out, wouldn’t a brisk walk help you use your time more efficiently?

Seen any head-scratchers of your own? Tell us about them!
