Something really disturbs me. What bothers me is somewhat related to the problem I have with 80 year old baseball managers wearing a uniform, only this issue is much worse. Why do guys insist on wearing thigh-exposing shorts when they go jogging or head-to-toe spandex when they ride bikes? Whenever I see grown men exercising in those clothes I am forced to ask myself why. After much reflection (apparently I reflect on men in spandex a little too much) I have decided that it has to be for one of three reasons:
1) They are not really in it for the exercise, but rather because they are addicted to speed. Think about it logically…the more clothing, especially baggy clothing, the more wind resistance. This causes you to work harder, thus getting a better workout. These men obviously either love the thrill of the extra .0435 mph they gain on a bicycle by wearing skin tight clothes or they are hoping to be discovered by a Tour De France recruiter.
2) They look so darn good that it would be crime to deny the world of seeing every curve of their streamlined body.
3) They want to not only be a champion, but to look like one in everything they do.
I must admit that the more I think of this, the more inspired I am to be a champion in everything I do. From now on, this is how you will see me dressed for these activities:
Swimming at the Community Pool
Pickup Basketball Games at the Park
Rec League Men’s Softball
Fishing at the Lake
Driving to the Store to Pick Up a Loaf of Bread
Ice Skating With The Family
So to all you spandex/short shorts guys out there I have only one thing to say…..thank you for helping me look like a champion in everything I do.
