Only in America

for your enjoyment

 

Man, that is what I need to get up there! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Wow, that's great picture

 

and people wonder why so many of us over here (including me) are so "round" (I am loathe to use the "f" word). :wink:

 

I'm in VERY GOOD shape....after all, round is a shape.

 

Wow, Glenn, that is a GREAT photo. Too hilarious! I have to chuckle, also, at the people who go to my gym who drive around looking for a place to park that's near the door.

 

Oh, that fits the European notion of America. :twisted: :twisted:

I still have some confidence in the New Continent and hope the escalators are from pre-fitness era. :wink:

 

Hehe, I remember seeing that picture somewhere a while back and thinking how unbelievable! But then Jeff had a thought that the place must not have always been a 24 Hour Fitness. It's very likely that the space was previously occupied by some stores or a service and the escalators had been put in for shoppers. (As if people couldn't climb 15 stairs - the previous tenant had better been a retirement home!) Needless to say, those guys in the picture are still using the escalator... They probably want to get to their treadmill as fast as possible.

 

Yes, it's an old photo that has been circulating for a while. I imagine the fitness center is in a "strip mall" and there are several other businesses adjacent to it. It may even have bi-level access but, it is still funny.

 

My wife attributes America's ROUNDNESS to not taking the large meal of the day at Lunch and eating lighter in the evening.

 

I agree, also we are a stagnant people who only get exercise when we are actually trying to by setting time aside to "exercise".

Also, we are a late people, meaning for most of us, the day starts and ends late such as 8-5. With long commutes (driving far) we don't get home until after 6 and don't eat until 7 or 8. Eating after 6 pm adds to weight gain, not to mention, like Yerusalyim stated, it's our largest meal of the day.

 

What a funny pic; thanks!
