Why do fats always insist on lying about the amount of time they spend at the gym? They always say at least 2-5 hours a day. I spend roughly 4 hours at the gym a week and I am fit and doing just fine.

Same reason they say they run 4-minute miles. They have no actual idea what a regular workout at the gym is, so they imagine it takes 5 hours a day to be fit.

Hey, I've actually met fat people who can go a mile in less than 4 minutes... But than involved pushing them off of a very steep hill.

Time spent on treadmill = 15 minutes

Time spent screwing around on the weight machines = 15 minutes

Time spent taking selfies in locker room to post on Instagram = 1 hour

Time spent talking on phone = 1.5 hours

Time spent in gym cafe photographing and drinking 900 calorie smoothie to replenish sugars lost during exercise, while talking to others engaged in the same activity = 2 hours

That is probably pretty accurate lol. That got me thinking about a recent gym experience. I do these little "circuits" when I work out. So the one that day was like 20 lunges, 60 second plank and 100' farmer carry. I would do this 5 times. I started my first farmer carry and when I got to the far side of the gym I saw this absolute barge of a woman sitting on a machine. Then I would walk back and do my other moves and then farmer carry again. She stayed absolutely still the entire duration of that circuit. Never saw her lift anything the 5 times I walked down and back. The whole thing was about 20 minutes or so.

Then she probably factors that time sitting on a machine to her total workout. So I suppose I can see how diluted they could be.

Shit, when I started doing stronglifts 5x5 I would take 1.5 hours in the gym, but that's because squatting every day I went and increasing the weight every day fucked my shit so I was taking 5 minute rests between sets.

They have no scale with which to measure or compare. That applies to almost everything they try to give a number for.
