To My Little(Secret) Loves

Thanks, Cupid
I'm sure that most women with a couple of extra pounds have noticed how fat seems to accumulate on the inner thigh and along the outer hip; I'm sure men have it too,but since it doesn't hinder one's back arching on the bench press they pay it little mind. I recently read an article somewhere in cyberspace in which some particularly sagacious gym rat was interrogating a gym owner over why such useless devices were allowed to litter the gym floor. The owner sort of admitted that the machines were there because he, like every other gym owner, had to attract women and those are the kind of machines that women supposedly want. Just like I suppose that there are version upon version of bench press proxy machines in my gym, because men want them.
The gym owner was wrong.Since the average woman gym member cannot be shaken from her almost metaphysical belief in the efficacy of cardio equipment and aerobics, the little duo sit most of the time ignored by all. Once in awhile a lady will drop by and load the stack with a very modest weight and use each of them. Maybe a set of high reps with that tiny weight or maybe two sets. Sometimes men walk past the machines... because there is a water fountain nearby. It is a forlorn.
Here is what I have noticed ,however. These lonely little babes really work. I use them religiously and pile on the whole stack and add some incremental weights on top of the stack and pound out twenty or thirty reps for 3 sets or so. The result is that my inner thigh is tight and the fat that would conglobulate there hasn't. I can feel my hip flexors protrude when I sit down. I've got a suspicion that my candidacy for a groin pull is sharply reduced as well. I love these little darlings and show my love by visitingthem every other workout without fail. So here's my Valentine to my neglected little sweet hearts. Thanks for the thighs, my loves! Your servant, as always.
