5am Gym Rat

A Zombie Apocalypse?

A look inside the daily routine of a 5am gym rat…

• Wake before any sane person would ever consider possible.
• Slam an energy drink while driving – in the dark – to the gym.
• Warm up, work out!
• Shower, shave and TCB.
• Arrive at work before most guys leave the house.

That is just the start of the daily routine of those 40-ish year olds who have a never ending desk job, bills to pay, kids in sports…

All while attempting to maintain some glimpse of being an ‘in shape’ guy.

Types of Zombies

Stop by any health club at 5am and you’ll find nothing short of a Zombie Apocalypse.

You’ve got your mindless, burned out 40-ish men.

Some young pups in their 30’s clinging to their youth

And then a handful of old timers dazed and confused from years of the ‘daily routine’.

On second thought, those old timers may live there or have wandered in off the street.

A hidden 40-ish motivation?

What would possess a so-called ‘sane’ individual to maintain this endless schedule and exhausting lifestyle?

One word comes to mind…

Summertime!

Yep, the few days a year when the shirt comes off at the lake, pool or beach and every other out of shape guy (and nearby gal) looks up from his beer belly and says…

Damn!

‘That guy’ is here!

Fair warning. See you soon, fat boys.

Sincerely,
That Guy
