SPRING...BREAK

The two most feared words in a teenage girl’s vocabulary are…SPRING BREAK. There is a reason why women choose dieting as their new year’s resolution. Women may claim it’s to “become healthier” in a New Year, but come on. The second the clock strikes midnight on January first, girls begin to count down the days to Spring Break. Worried they will not be able to shed off the pounds gained during the holidays, girls work out vigorously in the three months before Spring Break. As a result to this fear, girls join gyms and begin to workout in order to fill their bathing suits with their dream bodies. Not only do the workout machines become more occupied, but tanning beds also get frequent visits from customers. No girl wants to be the palest girl on the beach!
I interviewed Arielle Anderson for some advice to add to my blog. Arielle works at Tony’s Gym, and knows of the increasing membership in the spring time. Arielle works part time, so she only sees the members that come in to work out between the times of 4:00-8:00 p.m. However, she noticed a significant change in the amount of is its members after the New Year. She said that tanning beds and certain work out machines become more occupied. “It’s obvious that Spring Break is getting close”, she said. I asked her what machines are the most popular, and she said that there are always people working on the elliptical and abb machines. She says that the tanning beds are almost always occupied during the months of February and March. Gym memberships start to decline as summer approaches. This shows that girls are most aware of their body image around Spring Break. Girls want to feel confident in a bathing suit while on the beach. Girls just need to stay motivated and dedicate to working out, and those Spring Break bodies shouldn’t be a problem.
