Did you really know this about Ugandans!!!

Did you know this seriously......!
On Saturday night, I took my bosom friend for pizza. Am not a spendthrift, I did this because I had missed out on her birthday celebrations so I had to make it happen over the weekend. It was really a spontaneous time in that we left for home at midnight. We embarked in a taxi, it had three-seaters at the back and at the front. I happened to sit next to two fine young men, they were discussing business, sports, but my attention drew closer when they started talking about gymnastics. With their discussion I really got lost in thoughts, questioning myself " Why do Ugandans really hate the gym ", to be forthright, I have never been in the gym too yet I always complain about the tummy fat. In this blog, I want to spell out the different reasons as to why 80% of the Ugandans interdict the gym.

1. Laziness
   A short time ago, I watched a youtube video from Nathaniel Branden "6 pillars of self-esteem" In this video he stretched out there a number of people that are physically unfit and this imperils their relationships, health and it is one of the reasons for the low self-esteem among the people, so he ended this with the practice of self-responsibility where it involves going to the gym a few days a week and eating healthy. Ever since I watched the video I made a vow to my self that I will make it a habit every week to go to the gym, however, every single week I get so lazy to do it, I'm pretty sure many of us are in this boat. Am not seconding my laziness, but am finding a better way to get out of this comfort zone. If you can advise on what to do then kindly leave a comment.

2. We think the gym is for the rich.
   I run a simple business that Involves a number of deliveries, however, sometimes when am busy my sister does the work. A few days back we got a customer and I told her to ring her so they can organize for the delivery. When she rang the customer told her that she is busy in the gym, she will return the call later. My sis immediately proposed that we should increase the price for this customer since she is rich can you imagine!. I also know many of us do have the same mindset, but it is not true gym is for every single person.

3. It is time-consuming.
   Many of the minnows can not take 2-3 hours reading and engaging with other people on the platform, but they would take 5-6 hours publishing a post. When they get zeroes on their posts they complain that the system is a failed one. Same applies to our health, we would rather take a nap than go work out and when we gain a lot of weight, we still complain. There is a saying that those who think they have no time for bodily exercise, will soon or later have time for illness.

#Conclusion
If you can advise on how we can get Ugandans into the gym, will be glad to hear from you. Kindly drop your comment and it will be much appreciated
