David på gymmet

David at the gym

David is thirty years old, but he feels old. He works in an office and sits in front of a computer all day. When he comes home, he often lies down on the sofa. That is why he gets tired from walking up the stairs.

One day he decides to change his life. He buys a gym membership and says to his friends:

"Now I am going to train four times a week."

His friends laugh. "You? You think the remote control is heavy."

The first time David comes to the gym, he feels nervous. Everyone else is running, lifting weights and looking strong. David does not even know how to start the treadmill.

Then he sees a large mirror. In front of the mirror, several people are standing and looking at their muscles. David thinks it looks easy. He also stands in front of the mirror.

After one hour, he is still there. He is not sweaty, but he feels satisfied.

After one month, he has taken over one hundred pictures of himself at the gym. His friends ask if he has become stronger.

"Yes," says David. "I can hold my phone for much longer now."
