Don't call me a GYM BUNNY

Gym Bunny. Funny term isn't it? I've heard this term thrown around at the gym, on social media and also at myself. Not in a mean or undermining way, but its now quite a common term.
 
I am an over-thinker. Always have been and more than likely always will be. So it was quite natural for me to start mulling this over in recent days/weeks.
 
Gym Bunny. Am I one? Do I fit the bill? What even is a Gym Bunny? With all these questions (& more) going through my (what the other half calls tiny!) brain I HAD to start doing a bit of research, also work out what my 'feelings' & thoughts are towards this term Gym Bunny...
 
First of all, the gym. In my view and most others we go to the gym to:
~ Workout.
~ To sweat.
~ To maybe lose weight.
~ Tone up.
~ Increase strength.
~ Release stress.
~ Get fit.
~ Keep fit.
~ Go into our own world.
~ To test our limits.
~ To be in our happy place (it is mine).
~ Rid ourselves of aggression.

Now, all of the above says to me that we mean business. We are taking no prisoners. We are in the zone. More than likely have a focused face on during the time in the gym/zone. Once the workout is complete, we should be feeling jelly legged, achy armed, sore stomached but elated due to how much we have pushed ourselves. Totally feeling the results & looking forward to the next time we enter the gym.

Am I right? Correct me if not!

When I think of the person who is a Gym Bunny:
~ Perfect hair.
~ Makeup applied.
~ Gym kit that is impractical.
~ Also really quite tight and revealing.
~ Doesn't like to break a sweat.
~ Poses in the mirror.
~ Poses around the muscular guys.
~ Scowls at anyone who dare sweats.
~ Acts like a damsel in distress when 'trying' to use a piece of equipment.
~ Doesn't lift!!
~ Goes to the gym for approx. 15-20 minutes.

I mean really? Come on! The gym is NOT a speed dating place to try a pull a bloke. NO!
Its a place to pull weights - Lift for Christ's sake! Try!
Stop pouting like a flipping fish in the mirror, fixing your hair, bending over showing your assets off! If your paying your membership for that, why don't you go & pay for a dating website or a night out instead?!

This. This is what I think a Gym Bunny is.
This is the type of behaviour I am having to witness as the New Year has started.
I would quite like to say 'Love, please move away from the machine taking them selfies, pouting... I actually wanna USE that machine!!'
But I don't, I'm polite, I wait my turn. However, if you are reading this and you recognise yourself, MOVE!
Now, I love me a selfie, makeup, hair etc. but NOT as there is a queue forming for the machine, equipment, mat that you are using! This is neither the time, nor the place!

Sooooo, before you do....

DON'T CALL ME A GYM BUNNY!
