Week 4 of Health Communication....learned about "Wrong Reason" concept, which caught my attention since it basically means people change their health behavior not to directly improve their health, but for other reasons (i.e. Men going to the gym to show-off their "guns" aka biceps or six packs and women going to the gym not just to exercise, but to strut their stuff in skimpy little outfits looking as if they stepped out of a MAC store. HAHA. I guess it's a good thing, regardless of what they're wearing or how they chose to present themselves, but at least these people are actually at the gym. That's the first step right? I guess, but why do people have to try and prove so much to each other; can't they see that going to the gym, and really concentrating on their exercise routines are what is actually going to make them look and feel better than what they're wearing? I have to admit, when I actually did go to the gym (see I'm being truthful because I know my friends are going to read this and say "you haven't been to the gym in months") it was almost a nuisance to see people like that at the gym because it became more of a social hang-out. Guess Starbucks got too crowded. =)
