Matow Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 So, I've been off the site for a few weeks, and i did slow down a bit. Not much.. not enough to put on weight. I was doing enough to maintain.Roll on Lent. Most people give stuff up, but I decided not to be negative, and to me, 'Giving up' is saying No to stuff. Which is a negative approach. So, I have decreed - I shall do 1 hour of physical activity a day (Over and above my usual walking around etc).I have given the gym a fair shot, and I still don't like it. So I'm trying to make that hour each day as interesting as possible - Kayaking, Climbing, Tumbling, Hiking etc. - and I use the Gym as my 'If I haven't found anything fun to do, it has to be gym'. This week has been so much fun, and i am aching all over.... but I don't feel like I've been working out.Just thought I'd share, for anyone who isn't a massive fan of the gym - It can be used as motivation all the same!

andygates Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 "Find something you enjoy" is fitness rule #1. People don't stick at chores. Yay kayaking! Quote Link to comment
empeg9000 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I am with you. I don't enjoy a gym. I have been doing a body weight workout. At my weight I guess anything is going to help but I am enjoying and seeing myself improve is awesome. I've also been getting out on my road bike and mountain bike a little as weather has allowed.

Matow Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Heh, its nice to see someone on a fitness site that shares my sentiments!I had a nerd-idea for making the gym a bit more interesting... When i'm on the bike - The one with a chair and backrest.. not the one with a bicycle-style seat - I shall bring my DS with Pokemon While pedalling. Hopefully the time will whizz past!
