To do those you would have to pay in the gym,but they're free in the home !Press ups, sit ups, squats , skipping who needs a gym?
That sounds really positive so the gym has been good for you then. My mate just got bored like so many people,but fair play to you and hope you keep it up.I use the gym. Have done for 18 months. Wasn't particularly fat, but was slightly overweight. I lost 1 and half stone. I gave up smoking the same time as I joined the gym, so in effect that paid for it. The fact I pay to go is enough of an incentive for me. If I'm paying £30 odd per month, I want to get my money's worth.
There's no way I'd keep up the exercise regime at home. Once I get home from work I can't be arsed.

I used to go to the gym at the Coventry Sports Centre in the late 80's and it was down by the boiler house,with just weights and that was about it.Frequented by bouncers and proper body builders it was really rough and ready,and with nothing like they have in gyms these days it was a good place to go.Some of them are more like social clubs which is fine if that's your thing,but I much preferred the spit and sawdust places !The volume of travel I do and two young kids limits what I can do. Use my bike to keep fit at the weekend and pop it on the turbo during the week. Does the job! Could never be arsed with gyms
I know what you mean, I used to do martial arts In a similar type of place, good team spirit and you wouldn't mess with the grapplers!I used to go to the gym at the Coventry Sports Centre in the late 80's and it was down by the boiler house,with just weights and that was about it.Frequented by bouncers and proper body builders it was really rough and ready,and with nothing like they have in gyms these days it was a good place to go.Some of them are more like social clubs which is fine if that's your thing,but I much preferred the spit and sawdust places !
I reckon as long as someone does some exercise either in a gym or at home or outdoors,it's better than nothing at all !Go most days, its all well and good saying just do sit ups at home. It never happens!
Have weights in the garden, never both with them. Much prefer to leave it at the gym.
of course, I just meant it never happens for meI reckon as long as someone does some exercise either in a gym or at home or outdoors,it's better than nothing at all !
Got rid of a bit of a hangover earlier on by going for a long walk down the Slough nature reserve not far from where I live, as it's situated between Wood End and Aldermans Green. A great winters landscape with snow etc and there's lots of wildlife down there.Just a few dog walkers so it was peaceful as you do get youths on motor bikes now and again.Tell you what it does half refresh you and to me it's healthy and free !
I got talking to an ex Coventry boxer in the pub yesterday Gil LewisI love crisp snowy walks in the countryside, it's so invigorating. I was lucky enough to live close to the dolomiti in Italy and walking in the mountains every Sunday was incredible.
These days I train at my local boxing gym 3 nights a week. Don't really have a lot of time for the gym; I find it full of posers and idiots doing free weights who think they the dog's testicles.

who now trains fighters at his home and at Red Corner gym.I mentioned to him that my 30 year old son wants to take up boxing as he had to pack in football due to a knee injury.I asked him if he may be too old ? Gil replied no as he boxed till his mid thirties,do you enjoy it ?
Thanks for that and hopefully he'll give it a go and Gil the ex boxer said he'll train him for free for a couple of sessions.I might go along with him as I did some boxing training years ago and you're right as it is the most intensive work out,and my whole body ached after my first session. But I stuck at it and loved it even though I couldn't lift my arms for a week !Yes I love it and can't imagine life without it now! I've been doing it since my teens but a nasty wrist injury playing football stopped me having any chance of doing something more with it. These days I do it for fitnesa and for the sheer enjoyment of it.
I just turned 31 and so am a similar age to your son. It's amazing how it can have such an impact on your life in terms of confidence and self-discipline and fitness, of course.
Your son certainly isn't too old and I know people in their late 50s who still box for the fitness side of it.
The first few sessions will wipe him out completely but you just have to keep going; the high he will experience will make sure of that I'm sure!!
We should all take up Plastering, recognised as the most physical job going.
IE will give the best aerobic workout of any job.
Having tried to plaster a wall once, you'd pay me to keep out of your house!
Gyms are great if people make use of them. I increasingly didn't bother and cancelled mine as I kind of hate every second of it so instead I run more which I also hate and play football which I like but am terrible at. How much is lipo?
I think it depends what you do, I hate running and treadmills / jogging on concrete hurts my legs but grass is ok.
If you have a decent routine the gym is ok, when people just go and aimlessly wander round they don't really get into it.
It's the other people part that put me off. I hate crowds generally so I'd go at 7am, but then people are just lingering on machines whereas I want to do my bit and then get out of there. Couldn't be doing with it.
