When I was a kid, I was short and fat and the butt of many jokes - so I did something about it (ran and ran and ran and ...). By the time I hit puberty I was still short (5'9") but skinny (125 lbs) - and still the butt of many jokes.

So I unertook weight lifting, when I first started out the mentallity of the gym was such that because of my 'frail' stature and 'weakness' - I was basically laughed out of the gym, and often asked by the staffers to move away from the station that I was using so that the 'real' lifters could use it. I quit my membership and continued lifting in the privacy of my own home.

It struck me as odd way back then, that the 'exclusivity' of the gym pretty much barred those that could benefit the most from weight training.

It seems now, that the few gyms that I have looked into are much more open to newbies; and are more than willing to offer help and encouragement to those that need it the most.

My, how we have maturehood in our passions!
