Happy Tuesday!
After occupying my time with the 31-Day Blogging Challenge, it’s now time to come up with my own ideas for posts.
So far, I’ve got a few ideas, but I’m trying to think of one that I want to write about today.
The Gym. Specifically, going to the gym.
Now, I am an extremely lazy person, so getting out of bed is sometimes a struggle. Or going up/down stairs. Or doing anything involving moving quickly.
So, going to the gym? Not one of my favorite activities. Yet I go anyway, partly because I know I should, and mostly because my parents bug me about it until I relent.
Now, I don’t mind going to the gym, it’s the actual working out part I dislike. Usually I blast music or turn on a show while I’m working out to distract myself, but they only last so long before my body realizes I’m going to do this for a while.
Once I’m done though, I feel great, despite being sweaty and looking like a hot mess. Otherwise, it could be worse, I could forget my iPod. That would be a terrible, sweaty nightmare.
So, do you go to the gym/do you like going? Why/Why Not?
Have a great week! xxoo
Great determination, you have there. I don’t go to the gym, but I mediate every day by doing push-ups, squats, while the air flows with jazz. Not a proper work-out but I’ll take it.

I used to go to the gym before my son was born, but I’m too busy to go now. I have been doing those Insanity DVDs though, and they’re a lot less fun. I’d stick with the gym :]

I don’t particularly like going to the gym for “gym” exercises, but I love going to play sports there, like basketball or racquetball (even if I’m bad at both 🙂 )
Your comment at the beginning of the post raises an interesting question: is it harder to go from structure to non-structure or to go from non-structure to structure?

I think as long as you go, it’s good!
And I don’t know! Depends on what you’re leaving, and what you’re going to! 😀 xxoo

Before I would have football training/matches three to five times a week, so I never really needed exercise outside of that. Yet I still did a lot of core training on the off-days.
The problem is that my house is in an awkward position and as a result, I had to drop football because I don’t drive and there’s no nearby teams. As a result, my fitness has plummeted. Now I’m in a bit of a pickle because I’ve never liked the gym but my area isn’t the best for training outside of the gym. I also have no nearby gym… It might all be fixed next year, though!
The more exhausted and sweaty I am after exercising, the better I feel about myself. Nothing beats striding home in the open air after a 90 minute session!

It all sounds like a lot of fun, even though there are a few issues.
And I enjoy that feeling as well, although I usually drive home, as the gym is a little far from where I live 🙂 xxoo

yes, I know about lazyness, I’m one myself … I remember one time when I wanted to work out, I payed a gym for 6 months, before hand, I went only 2 weeks. Then I understood that working out and me don’t go hand-in-hand. My only work out is to lift my hands to the glass of beer (… oh, I love beer). And yes, I’ve a belly beer (that I’m proud of)

I did that for a while too (the not going to the gym), because I didn’t want to get up! I love sitting around and reading/going on the computer 😛 xxoo

I have been slowly losing weight over the last year, and I don’t like exercise. Since I am over fifty, walking and stretching work the best for me. I agree music is a great distraction!

I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have music 🙂 xxoo

I love working out. I do not go to the gym, since I have space at my house to do my work outs. I like to work out every day for about 45 minutes or so. I usually do jump rope cardio and abs. Since I am a chef, I have to keep my figure. lol
