Gym fitness scenery

There is no unified standard at all. They are all moments that make you think, "Ah, sports are so alive."

I often go to an old community gym that has been in my home for almost ten years. The paint on the equipment is peeling off, and the corners of the mirrors are worn with two small pieces. Even the aromatherapy at the front desk has a cheap lemon scent all year round, and it doesn’t have the slightest sense of internet celebrity. But when the restaurant opens at 6:30 every morning, the excitement inside will warm you up. Uncle Zhang, who was wearing a quick-drying suit that had been washed loose at the collar, had been lying down for three months with a protruding waist last year. When he first came back for rehabilitation, he couldn't stand upright even with a barre deadlift. A few days ago, I saw him finish lifting 60 kilograms. His face was red from holding it in, and he grinned and gave a thumbs up in the mirror. His expression was more satisfying than winning a five-dollar lottery ticket. I stood by and watched with joy. In my eyes, this is more beautiful than any well-edited fitness blogger's picture.

Of course some people don't think so. I know a friend who has been practicing natural bodybuilding for five years, and I have determined that the top beauty in the gym is the body sculpture that has been polished over the years - the clearly separated leg muscles, the latissimus dorsi muscles that are like small wings when spread out, and the clearly visible abdominal muscle lines when the body fat rate drops below 10%. These are the results of sweat and self-discipline, which are truly worth seeing. I really agree with this. Last week, I met a guy who was preparing for a competition in the free strength area. When he was practicing high pull-downs, his back was tight, and his movements were so steady that he didn't even shake the weights. The silhouette of his entire back fell on the mirror, really like a human sculpture in an art gallery. Several novices around him quietly glanced at him to learn the moves. This kind of beauty with a sense of role model cannot be perfected after three to five years of hard work.

Oh, by the way, don’t be ridiculous. I don’t mean that the behavior of occupying equipment for half an hour and wiping off your sweat and makeup before leaving after practicing for half an hour counts. That is purely occupying public resources and counts for nothing.

Many people also think that the newly opened Internet celebrity gyms really understand "beautiful scenery" - small macaron-colored dumbbells, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the river view, sunset lights in the corners, the moment you take two photos of hair ties after training, and receive a lot of likes, which makes people happier than any other training. There is nothing wrong with this. I accompanied my cousin to the Jiangjing store where she applied for a card a while ago. It happened to catch up with the sunset. The orange light spread across the entire venue, and even the rubber floor mats looked gentle. After she finished practicing, she took a picture of her back facing the floor-to-ceiling window. That night, she sent me a training plan for the next three weeks, saying that she would save up nine pictures before posting on WeChat Moments. Originally, fitness is about everyone getting what they need. It can mobilize your motivation to go to the gym every day. How can this not be a good situation?

I squatted to the limit a while ago. After the last set, I held the squat rack for a long time and couldn't straighten my back. I looked up and saw a little girl who had just finished running five kilometers. Her bangs were completely wet and stuck to her forehead. She was taking a selfie in the mirror with peach-flavored electrolyte water. Her face was red but her eyes were narrowed by her smile. Suddenly, I felt that there is no fixed standard for "beautiful scenery in the gym". If you are rushing to build muscle and shape, the training status and textbook-level action demonstrations of the masters will be a good scene in your eyes; if you are just starting out and want to be happy, an environment that can make you relax and not anxious is a good scene; even if you catch fish one day When you are paddling to practice, you will see the girl at the front desk feeding canned cats to stray cats, and the guy who brought the cats to exercise squatting next to the flight box and petting the cat. The sound of the cat purring mixes with the fast-paced music of the spinning bike next to it. This is also a small blessing that is unique to you.

I was chatting with the owner of the gym before, and he said that after so many years of operation, he had seen too many people wilting when they first came in. After working here to hang out, after two months of training, his whole body has improved, and even his voice has become much louder. He thinks this is the most valuable beauty, and no amount of money can be spent on renovations and modifications to replace it.

Actually, if you think about it, the gym is a place for ordinary people to gain energy. You don’t need to worry about what the beautiful scenery is in other people’s eyes. When you have a good practice, everything you see when you look up is the best scenery.
