Why is there an aversion to fitness for guys post 25?
Well I (26M) am not fat per say but definitely you would characterize me as skinny fat?
Anyways so in my life fitness was never an essential component as it was characterized by books, studying and then job. This year I had made the decision ki I will get fit. Not musclehead kind of fit but definitely fitter than I am.
So I joined a gym and started eating healthy and the reactions...my god.
My parents were like...ekhon gym e giye ki Hobe. Focus on your brain that's more important. My colleagues were like...life's one come have a drink with us.
Now I have seen a trend any man I have met past the age of 25 is not fit. This rings especially true if he is Bengali ( now exceptions exist ofc but that's the trend).
Plus there's this perception that muscleheads are somehow big jerks. Well there's a guy in my gym whom I saw Benching 100kgs for reps. I asked him for tips and he explained things so well. Like never did he make me feel inferior to him.He even mentioned to me that when he had started he was weighed 58kgs at a height of 5'10 and was a chain smoker.
Well so anyone starting out their fitness journey can dm me and we can perhaps do so together. It's less intimidating with a companion by the side.

ভারতীয় সেনা প্রেস কনফারেন্স করে তারা,পাকিস্তানের কোথায় কোন জঙ্গিঘাঁটি, মিলিটারি এয়ারবেস ধ্বংস করেছে তার সমস্ত প্রমাণ দিয়েছেন। তারপর বাঙালির ভোটে নির্বাচিত দেশের একজন সাংসদ এগুলো বলে বেড়াচ্ছেন।এতে বাঙালির ইমেজ আরো খারাপ হচ্ছে।
