The Problem With The Gym

lol Agree with that. At my gym, there are signs up now that state ''if you want to text, please let someone else use the equipment.''

I know, first world problem but it's still a problem.

 

Home gym + outdoorsy cardio FTW!!!!!!!!!

 

set up a giant human sized wheel thing like for rodent cages in the back yard?

if someone was a business type person maybe they could mass produce and install these things.

like maybe it would be the next hula hoop for people who could afford it.

and maybe like those cat scratching post castle type things with the shelves and all, scaled up to human size too.

with the wheel, and i still don't know why this isn't done with treadmills, have it turn a generator,
then you know, have THAT power your game-toy or cell phone, while you're huffing and puffing on it.

i mean that's even an old idea from cartoons back in the 1940s. we have all the technology now,
its just engineering to put it together.

its just culture, how we think about things, how we do them.
i know i need to do more for cardio then just walk.

my dad did a lot of walking and it didn't do enough for his.
i just find exercize more then a little tedius, when there's creative things i'm always more interested in doing.

that's really why i hate cities and their predictable pavement.
in the woods there's always things to explore.

 

Nothing beats having a gym at home.

 

especially for someone named gane, who's married to him.

 

Gane, or gain?

 

I'm a fan of body weight exercises. No gym, no interacting with annoying people required!

 

if gym = jim, why doesn't gane = jane?
just being silly.

 

im no fan of gyms

mostly because they are full of annoying people

 

Yeah, who wants to be fit and healthy?

 

annoying people of course

you're basically helping prove my theory

 

i like how this sounds. not sure what it means though. like situps and pushups, chinups, isometrics, or just getting up against the pull of gravity against existing mass?
or wearable extra weights, to add resistence to normal activities, and thus the bennifits of exercize while doing them. i like that idea too.

 

Body weight exercises.... pushups, pull-ups, etc.

 

now i just need to convince myself to make a schedule of doing at least a little of that every day. some way to keep myself from forgetting to.
i agree 100% its something i need to.

 

Just do it, even when you don't want to...and eventually, it will become a habit. Takes like 21 days for something done consistently, to become a natural habit. I do cross fit and run, and can't imagine life without it all. It just makes you feel good, not just physically, but mentally.

 

All of the above. And I throw in extra weight, 8 - 10 lb weights, to add more resistance to exercises like squats, lunges, etc.

 

i do agree with him, in that i find most people to be annoying and gyms are full of people.

 

Of course, but that's everywhere you go pretty much.

 

Why lift when it's all about the face and wallet?
