A New Twist To Workouts
A gym in Britain has added a new craze to the workout world. They are giving their customers a choice of weights to lift with. Now I am quite sure you are asking yourself what is new about that. Well they now can choose to use human weights. That’s right I said human weights.
The gyms owner Richard Hilton says ” It’s all about visualising strength.” So, that is what I have been doing wrong all these years. I guess the mental warfare of knowing I was about to attempt to pick up that weighs as much as me wasn’t enough. I need to actually see how big an object is before I pick it up,then I will feel like I am super strong.
They offer varying sizes of weights from a “Dainty Dwarf” that weighs 30 kg to the “Super Human” that weighs 155 kg. I don’t really think that something like this would last here in the U.S. You would have some human rights group start protesting saying it was cruel and unusual punishment or demeaning to them. Personally I think it is a different way to attract customers. And I hope that they will be successful with it.
