Gym ki kahani meri zubaani kuch aise shuru hoti hai – Monday aaya, naye week ka josh full-on tha. Naya pre-workout liya aur socha aaj toh gym mein aag laga denge. Trainer ne bola, ‘Warm-up kiya?’ Maine bola, ‘Bhai gym tak chal ke hi garam ho gaya hoon!’ Phir aaya dumbbell ka scene. Trainer ne kaha 10 reps easy hain. 3 reps ke baad hi haalat tight ho gayi. Socha dumbbell dumb hai ya main bell? Side mein ek gym bro bolta hai, ‘Bhai yeh toh warm-up set tha,’ toh maine socha cool-down kab aayega yeh toh batao!
Diet ki baat karein toh sabse bada dhoka wahi hota hai. Dost poochta hai, ‘Bro tu gym ja raha hai, diet bhi follow kar raha hoga na?’ Maine kaha, ‘Haan bhai, breakfast – 6 eggs, lunch – grilled chicken, dinner – motivation aur aansuon ka soup.’ Aur tabhi mummy peeche se cheekh ke bolti hai, ‘Raat ko fridge mein rasgulla dhoond raha tha kaun?’ Maine bola, ‘Woh cheat meal nahi, cheat moment tha!’ Sunday ko rest day milta hai, socha aaj sirf aaram. Tabhi phone beep karta hai, trainer ka message aata hai – ‘Kal leg day hai.’ Us moment pe bas itna hi kaha – God save my legs!
Par ek baat sach hai – jab gym ka dard reward lagne lage na, tabhi asli maza aata hai. Aur haan, kabhi kabhi rasgulla bhi chalta hai... bas trainer ko pata na chale!
