The Women's Locker Room - Rating to be Adviced

I am inspired by the dark blue shower curtain today, when bathing after class and felt the urge to actually document my new gym experience.

Its actually a very serious affair, this writing down of my thoughts and feelings. I'm not trying to be philosophical, I'm being factual and honest.. So Chris and Ming, there really shouldn't be a reason for you two to laugh at. Except the fact that, I cant help laughing at it myself.

The story starts this way:

I'm joined the gym one month ago.

Being someone who never really exercised outside the four walls of my cosy bedroom, this is one milestone for me. Yes, and a very big eye opener too.

I began my gyming days being awestruck by the well equiped gym and wonderful facilities not usually found at home (sauna, steambath, schwinn etc.).

As I stepped into the women's locker room to change, I saw several women, clad only in towels walking around. Or simply strip changing at their locker. After i recollected my fallen jaw, I decided rather firmly then and there that - "The Women's locker room is a lesbian's heaven".

After class, I was heading back to the locker room to shower before I head home when to my horror, I realised.... THE SHOWER STALLS DO NOT HAVE DOORS!

The only thing seperating the person in the shower and the 'world outside' is a flimsy dark shower curtain, which perhaps due to cost cuting reasons, is exactly, if not slightly smaller in width then the actual bath stall doorway. Any hint of a slight breeze would mean indecent exposure!

I ended my first day of gym as Shower Acrobat.
All my years of Hatha Yoga came in handy as I took a bath with my right hand and left leg holding the shower curtain in place. Its no mean feat to change in the shower too. As it is very very wet, I had to balance on one leg each and the lack of hangers meant I had to utilize my chin, armpit and even knees - whatever possible to hold my cloths, towels and toiletries.

I must say.. showering became, a rather ... stressful event.

But that, was a month ago...

Now, I'm proud to say, I've graduated from Shower Acrobat to Confident Towel Wrapper.
I've also mastered the art of maximizing the coverage from the shower curtain such that there is NO WAY, I will be exposed!

I do not however, foresee myself ever mastering enough courage, 6 pac-abs or not to change at my locker.
