Something So Right Yet So Wrong
At first sight, you’d assume the redheaded gladiatrix is a five-time IFBB PRO holder in bodybuilding. The jacked and fit woman looks like she knows all about the lifting game, and maybe she does. After all, hitting the perfect deadlift form with the perfectly arched back and knees speaks volumes. Yet, the most unusual thing about this picture strikes when you lay your eyes at her feet. Is that a fancy pair of high heels? You know, the kind you’d wear to a party or a prom?
We don’t know the reason behind this click or the pumps. Still, we hope this isn’t one of those ‘moments before disaster’ photos!
Safety Is the Number One Priority
Accidents are common in the gym. Someone drops a dumbbell on their finger or goes too hard on the weights, tearing a muscle. For these reasons, we have coaches telling us to prioritize our safety. Yet, it seems the chic woman had misunderstood that valuable advice! We believe this because she's decided to go against all safety precautions and donned a pair of fancy stilettos, guaranteed to make any physiotherapist's head turn!
We sure hope this was a stunt for the cameras, and the woman in the picture knows better. We'd like to see a new photo, this time preferably, in a pair of sneakers!
Never Forget Your Gym Sneakers
A wise woman or man once said, 'you can never mess up a pair of flaming red high heels.' Who would've thought decades later that these words would still be taken seriously—at the gym! Is she returning from a party or maybe a salsa dance practice? Irrespective of the wheres and whys, we have to give the woman credit for her dedication and efforts.
So far, she's even achieved the aesthetics of a Greek goddess. Nevertheless, to sustain her strength and accomplishments further, she'd have to ditch those high heels for good! The pair of sneakers at the back better be hers, and if not, we hope she doesn't forget to wear them next time!
The Perfect Gym Partner
Gym partners are great. They help us squeeze out the final reps still left in us. In this case, we can say without a doubt that the female gym partner has managed to motivate her male counterpart for his last lap. After all, with those heavy plates on the bar, who knows where his legs would be flying to, had his supposed partner not sat on them.
Despite what it might look like, we can tell by his face that he's only focused and driven by the weights on the bar and nothing else. Perhaps we could all use a cold shower to clear our impure minds!
Don’t Try This at Home!
Is she swinging? Is she body-slamming someone? There are more questions than answers, but going by her facial expression in the picture, she hadn't anticipated being in that position while doing her workout routine!
Lucky for the daring lady, there seem to be no onlookers except the person clicking this picture, though that's a memory she would prefer to forget and a position she'd never be in again. Rest assured, we're optimistic that the bold gymnast landed safely on the soft mat beneath her, not breaking any part of her body. Even if this one ended well, make sure you don't try it at home or without expert supervision!
How Did We Get Here?
Gym sessions can be challenging, especially if you are beginning your workout or not motivated enough. Some of the equipment in the fitness centers can undoubtedly be sophisticated, but the most basic of them could easily overwhelm you. It is tough to tell what transpired before the position in this picture was reached, but we believe it should have been a very lazy or overly ambitious moment.
It is one thing to wonder how the lady got herself trapped in the equipment, but the main concern here is whether she will be able to help herself out of it. We hope there are still people inside the room; otherwise, this lady may have a long day.
Keep Your Head Up
People hit the gym for various reasons, depending on their fitness goals. While some wish to build stronger muscles, others desire to shed some fat and lose that extra one or two pounds. We are, however, having a difficult time figuring out what the man in this picture is trying to accomplish. Nevertheless, we can only speculate that he is working on his neck muscles.
Besides supporting the head, what other use would the neck be put to? Probably this gentleman took the phrase "keep your head up" a little too seriously. Whatever the motivation behind this funny exercise, the man needs a yoga class, not a gym.
An Extra Weight Will Do
This daddy would not let his babysitting responsibilities come between him and his personal fitness goals. Nonetheless, the baby would not have wished to be anywhere else by the look of things, and he looks overwhelmed by the new surroundings.
Whether this cute babe is impressed by his daddy's lifting prowess or the scary creature in the form of his father's tattoo, we will probably never be able to tell. Yet, it is clear that the tiny tot is having a good time at the gym, and he may likely have one or two words to say to his mother when they get home.
No Space? No Problem!
People in the gym may find it difficult to walk around due to the weights and equipment that occupy almost every space, and one of the most challenging issues that a fitness center faces is determining where to keep all equipment. Nevertheless, this fitness fanatic has discovered an efficient way to keep all of the devices out of the way of others using his leg press machine.
Alas, this fitness enthusiast had seemingly one weight too many, so he left one on the ground. It also appears that it is taking his instructor a while to figure out how much he will be trying to press!
Safety Always Comes First
Whereas chances of falling over and breaking your skull are almost nonexistent on the gym exercise bikes, the guy in this picture chose to take no chances. In any case, it is better to be safe than sorry. Sometimes we need motivation from somewhere to keep our gym sessions going, and we believe this man's protective gear does the trick for him.
There are not a lot of statistics out there about bike collisions in the gym, but whatever the figure is, this guy should be proud of doing everything within his power to make cycling in the gym much safer.
Multitasking at Its Best
We all have those days when a deadline is fast approaching, but we just can't seem to finish the work. This man right here is in that situation. After a hard day's work, he decided to take his work home. In his case, though, before home came the gym appointment.
It might look like he has a poor work-life balance, but others could look at it as a wholesome workout at its best. It shouldn't also be overlooked that this gym-goer came in heavily prepared as he has a smoothie ready to go for the intense mind and body workout lying ahead.
Stilettos That Made It to the Gym
Workout gear has heavily evolved throughout the years. Some people like shorts and T-shirts with sneakers. Others have opted for a more challenging fit, tights, and stilettos. This heavyweight lifter has chosen the latter. She must believe her training was not hard enough and needed a thinner standing, or she must have just thought, who said you can’t work out and still look fabulous doing it.
This fit is ill-advised, though, as even the loss of balance for only a second can lead to a nasty ankle injury. Furthermore, imagine going to your doctor and explaining how you got injured in the first place.
Say No to Workout Shortcuts
Some people always try to choose the easiest ways to do anything in life. Whether it be to pass an exam, get ahead in a line, or even at a doctor's appointment. When they know they have to do something, their mind goes into overdrive to find a way out. Now, this woman is a prime example.
Deep inside, she knows she has to work out, but today is the dreaded leg day. So, her mind came swinging, saying, why run when a machine can do it for you. On a serious note though, Segway should use this image as a warning to show the unintended use of their machine.
Is Leg Day Really That Important?
Working out is tedious and challenging. Nonetheless, we do it to shape the body and health. The first thing everyone pictures to have is the perfect abs, broad shoulders, and biceps for days.
Yet, we shouldn't forget that we need to work out the whole body—starting from the head and ending at the toe. Take a look at this guy for instance; he probably has never had a single leg day. Both his legs combined are as big as one of his arms. So, take-home message: a good house needs an exemplary framework; therefore, calves are as crucial as biceps.
Bring Your Favorite Snack to Gym Day
We all have things we think we can't live without. For this guy right here, nothing can come between him and his snacks. This person's love knows no bounds as they even have their favorite snack—Mr. Potato's Head—as a costume lying around at home. They took it even a step further and decided to wear this adorable costume to work out at the gym.
On the sunny side, the people working out that day must have had a good laugh and probably all bought a bunch of their favorite snacks to nibble on as they went back home.
Spread It Evenly, Please!
We’ve all heard this before: Jack of all trades, master of none. In other words, focus your energy on one area and you’ll achieve outstanding success. Unfortunately, our good friend here, who now has chicken legs, took that advice to the letter in his bodybuilding exercises. As we can see, the result is simply hilarious.
By focusing on his upper body, he starved his legs of the muscles they obviously needed. If they had lips, those legs would be crying out for help! We do hope that he devotes more time to squats in the future, and also that he crops that selfie.
Can You Beat the Clock?
For most folks, 24 hours is never enough to do all that needs to be done. That’s because our time becomes scarce when we’ve got many things that require our attention. Imagine having just 30 minutes to work at the gym, have a lunch break, and read your favorite magazine before you head out to work. We bet just thinking about it has got you stressed already!
Well, our star of the moment found a new technique to incorporate time management into her workout sessions—by doing all things at once. Now, she can keep fit, gain weight, and stay informed before the day runs out.
Gyming at the Cafeteria
It’s always a good idea to have multiple sources of income. If you’re a teacher, write on the side. If you’re a wrestler, you could try out acting. Workout centers also do the same by selling exercise accessories, healthy foods, and water bottles. Still, we’re not so sure that selling donuts is the best side hustle for this gym.
Though it’s a feasible source of revenue, it would be best if they stuck to selling T-shirts or water bottles as we’re a bit concerned that their clients might not be able to handle the temptation. They might just walk out with even more calories than they came with!
Cocktail Break with Granny
Your parents probably warned you while growing up not to drink and drive, but did they ever say anything about drinking and gyming? Grandma’s parents probably never mentioned that from what we can see. While everyone else at the gym is having refreshing water breaks, she cools off with her tasty margarita and sips it proudly.
Could it be that younger folks missed out on a time when cocktails and exercising went hand in hand? Although we highly doubt that, one thing we know for sure is that we don’t have to worry about Granny getting tired; she’s got all the motivation she needs!
Napping on Workout Duty
As much as quality rest is important, we shouldn’t just fall asleep at every corner, bus stop, or train station. Asides from being very unsafe, it also makes for some hilarious content that could stay on the internet forever. Though it’s already too late for sleeping beauty here to change her ways, it may not be for you.
While others went to the fitness center to burn carbs, she went in with all her sleeping gear—a pillow to comfort her head, and a napkin to shield her eyes. Hopefully, she doesn’t work at any security agency as she might just become unemployed from too much relaxation.
Abs-Growing Dog in Action
If you are a dog owner and a gym freak who frequents the gym, you should consider that your doggo may be as conscious of his ab routine as you. For instance, this cute pup has no qualms about imitating his owner’s yoga routine.
We can tell the doggie’s form is much better than the daddy's if we pay attention. Oh, and that expression! Gym time is serious business for this doggie. Is that a coincidence, or did the pup take the term ‘upward facing dog’ rather seriously? That's one clean and lean doggo with a smart ‘you looking at me' expression while he aces his gym style.
Fake It Till You Make It
The gym can be an overwhelming place for newbies. All those fancy giant machines can make the best of us run away. Then there are some clueless machos out there who have no idea what they are doing with their legs and arms in the opposite direction, but appear cool and confident while doing so. It's like they have been frequenting the gym all their life, like this guy.
To give the benefit of the doubt, maybe he knows what he is doing and purposefully wants to give his legs a rare workout that he thinks may be the perfect sculpting tool for his hamstrings. Either way, we hope he makes it while he fakes it, sooner than later.
Essential Workout Playlist in Real-Time
Yes, we need our music playlists pumping in our ears as we run on the treadmill. This guy takes the concept to the next level, though. He doesn't need the pods or Spotify, as he has brought the orchestra with him for his run.
Let's put things into perspective here. Perhaps the poor guy had no other option but to work out with a band that trains at the gym during their work hours. The motivation level of these musicians is so high that they want to waste no time getting their workouts done by waiting to get off work. Do they bring work with them to the gym or take the gym to work?
Beauty and Brawn in Sync
Age should not keep you from looking your best. This lady here is a prime example of how we can train even at 90 and look cute while doing so. Beauty and muscle go hand in hand for this one. If our schedules are hectic, we may not get time to fix our hair with pretty curls and incorporate workout sessions into our routine. Solution? Fix the rollers on your head, wear that attitude on your sleeve, and hit the gym.
While you are at it, don't let age shy you away from looking like a multitasker. Pressing the bench with the curlers will only inspire others to do the same when they get old.
When in Crisis, Improvise
We all agree music is a crucial aspect of our daily workouts. Without the beat of our favorite workout tunes, how will we train harder? Thus, the important things we remember to pack in our gym bags are our phones and ear pods.
Sometimes, however, we may get unlucky like this guy and forget these essentials at home. Don't let that stop you from working out. The guy here is a smart thinker as he gets hold of an iPad, plugs it in, and attaches it to a belt around him. Even if the iPad protrudes at a funny angle and gets in the way of things, at least your favorite beat is pumping in your ears.
The Ultimate Workout Session
Jumps and squat thrusts birthed burpees! A mixture of two or more workouts is common in workout sessions to focus on multiple body parts simultaneously. Although interesting, these mixed exercises can take a toll. Almost no one wakes up one day and picks weightlifting as their favorite exercise. The way this guy bossed a combo of weightlifting, squats, and balancing is outrageous.
Although his fitness instructor doesn't look too impressed, he should be proud of achieving this feat. Having someone take a picture is a smart way to confidently boast among his friends. We hope tomorrow is a Sunday or he's free all day because waking up to sore muscles is no fun.
Don’t Try This at Home
Is he trying stretches with weightlifting? It gets disturbing the more we look at it. Anyone who can bend their body that far back should get an accolade, but trying to lift iron in that position is near impossible. Anything could go wrong in this position.
The spotter is smiling instead of doing his job—holding up the iron! We'll appreciate anyone telling us why the guy's head is buried deep between the spotter's legs. We hope it's not the first time they're attempting this and if it's an attempt to impress onlookers, then it's a sad one. A few more reps and anything might go snap. By the way, check out the matching sneakers!
Keep Your Head Up
The view up there must be magnificent! There are four possibilities; either that part of the gym is not high enough, or something happened and he needed to 'save his face,' or the machine is a large piece, or a goliath visited the gym. Who knows? We only hope there weren't any scurrying rats up there.
What's mind-blowing is how the equipment is positioned in the part of the gym with an open ceiling. His composure, too, is out of this world. It's funny how this guy calmly carries on his routine though he can't see the machine. If the entire thing was a setup, kudos to him as he's managed to keep his cool with no obvious pose.
There's a Bat in the Gym
There's got to be a gym in Batman's cave, right? For someone famous for using sophisticated tech, a treadmill will be the least in his collection. Then what would Batman be doing in a gym, keeping fit or enjoying the stares from female fans in the background? Perhaps, he got tipped off that a villain would be in the area. Whatever made him wear work clothes must be serious.
Let's leave what made Bruce Wayne visit an outdoor gym and face why he's suited up. Working out in a cape is as safe as eating a snack while lifting weights—the perfect recipe for disaster.
Burning Calories Is Not Fun
Look who visited the gym in work clothes! Surely, the least talked about work hazard is getting overweight. Working at 'McDonald's' must be tough—the unending, tempting aroma of burgers and fries is a lot to deal with. If you're determined to stay healthy and not consume fast food every day, sooner or later, your resolve will crumble like a pack of cards.
In all honesty, it's usually hard for anyone to say no to a bite or two. We applaud his tenacity and hope he keeps at it for as long as he needs to. Straight from work to the gym even after an exhausting day is never easy.
First, Let Me Take a Break
At first, we had to take a double look to notice the escalators that lead to the gym. Although they are obviously there to be used after a person finishes working out, we are having trouble understanding why a person with an entire workout session ahead of him would use the escalators instead of the stairs. Perhaps he believes that exercising should only be done inside the gym and that he deserves to take it slow before his session starts.
Also, it’s inviting to attend a gym with escalators at the entrance because not everyone likes to use the stairs, no matter how active they might be.
Teach Them While They’re Young
They say that it’s never too early to learn something, as long you are dedicated and passionate about it. It looks like this little guy has heard that too and made his way to the gym. Maybe he should switch to lighter weights and make sure to take milk breaks between each workout routine.
Still, he definitely should sit this one out and just watch his daddy workout for a couple of years before he’s old enough to get a gym membership or big enough to lift weights without falling over. Undoubtedly, he will be great at maintaining his health and body image when he’s older.
Fingers Can Exercise, Too
Logically, we go to the gym to work out and use our phones as music or podcast players. Yet, this lady in red had other plans for her workout session as she opted to lay down and exercise her fingers on the phone instead of actually working out, but hey, a workout is a workout, right?
Let’s admit it, we have all set a new year resolution we couldn’t keep, but she’s at least at the gym, and that’s half of the work. It’s also hard to change and stick to a new goal overnight, no matter how determined you were the night before.
Balance Is Key, Right?
We have either been at the gym or watched others workout, so we know that that’s not how you are supposed to lift weights. Maybe this guy skipped off a couple of weights and aimed higher than he could handle, and judging from his facial expression, he definitely regrets it. Still, he’s at least at the gym trying his best to build his muscles and not at home eating chips while binge-watching his favorite TV show.
Sometimes, it’s good to push yourself over the limit to achieve your goals. Nevertheless, it’s essential to be responsible and know when to stop to not harm yourself.
Babysitting at the Gym
It can be inconvenient to watch your child when you are supposed to be at the gym. Maybe that’s why this father chose to take his child with him and even include him in his workout routines. Looking at that cutie, he seems to be enjoying it even if he has no idea what’s going on.
Although it seems practical, it’s highly dangerous to multitask when it includes a baby. Add heavyweights to the equation, and you might end up with a serious injury on your plate. On the bright side, that child will love the gym when he grows up and sees this picture.
Choosing Comfort Over Norm
How did it feel? The time you walked into the living room in a towel because you thought no one was at home only to find the entire room full? The shock on your face has got nothing on this man. I mean, who does workout in a towel? Then, how more comfortable can a run be than this new style?
This must be a very funny sight for other trainers. We are on the lookout to see if this will turn into a trend, because more people might want to experience this comfortable run's bliss. Let's also hope that we don't have more and more gyms emulate this style.
The Thing Before Fantastic Four
We would so scream 'The Thing' and even ask for an autograph if we had met this guy a year after the release of the film 'Fantastic Four.' No jokes, but there is no way we will accept that this man isn't the inspiration behind The Thing. One way or another, his picture a year before the movie's production would have found its way to the team or the director's eye.
Back to the photo, this must be the result of some intense workout session. Who would have thought that humans had so many veins? Plus, we can't even imagine the sheer strength of one of his hands.
Who Makes Spandex-Catsuits?
This woman's face is a whole lot of questions, screaming ones at that. She is probably wondering, 'who on earth makes spandex-catsuits?' To be precise, 'who wears a spandex-catsuit to a gym workout session?'
Nonetheless, if you are a pet lover, then you are sure to understand how deep human attachment to those cute creatures can be. Trust us when we tell you this man most definitely would love his cat more than his neighbors. Then, if you find yourself as an onlooker like this woman, please don't be like her. Instead, just admire the man's strong commitment and his never-ending love for his beloved cat.
Creativity at Its Peak
You were not expecting this height of creativity, right? No jokes, this guy would probably outclass Isaac Newton in creativity, at least in this kind of scenario. Nonetheless, we must commend his commitment to gaming because we are guessing there is a VR headset under that cape.
Imagine the bliss of working out while hooked on to your favorite game. If you are already enjoying the scenario in your head, then you probably need to look for this guy and properly appreciate him for showing you how to make your fantasies come true. Of course, it’s not every day you see someone willing to show you how it’s done.
Romantic Dates Should Not Affect Your Gym Session
No one will tell you how easy it is to crash into the gym right after a romantic date. You, however, do not have to worry about the hints because this lady has got you covered. She isn’t just going to tell you how to do it, but be sure she will show you how to go about it in style.
We bet you are thinking of taking some cues from this wonder woman. If not something from her stylish gym-dress style, then it would be something in the line of crashing into the gym right after your next romantic date.
