I’m a “fitness”* person. I like to work out, I do it often, and I want to talk about it.
Fitness people are annoying. They can be smug, self-righteous, bottomless fonts of unsolicited advice. They enjoy doing what many people dislike and want them to do it, too. I know they’re exasperating because they long exasperated me.
You’re supposed to do this thing that’s good for you, but you don’t, and I do, fitness people seem to sneer. They want us to Just Do It. They offer that if you have time for scrolling you have time for a workout, #noexcuses! They’re just bursting to proclaim that pain is weakness leaving the body! When I didn’t Do It or care, I resented them.
