Gym! Summer time boredom

Ah so joined the gym last week for a month membership deal and so far has been pretty awesome. Lost 5 lbs already and today I went on the cross trainer for an hour and a half. Didn't swim today as well though because I lost my swim shorts :frown:

How is everyone else keeping busy for summer? The gym seems to be the only thing on my regular schedule :lol:

Aww, I get what you mean. I'm not a huge fan of English sun as it's humid - I like a foreign dry heat :tongue:

Cardio and weights. So running, cycling, crosstrainer etc. And do an hour work out of weights. Then some ab work too :h:

You?

I don't even like dry heat, I just can't deal with high temperatures. My body just quits.

At the moment I'm just doing the cross trainer and swimming, I will probably start using the bike and try some weight machines as well though. I go with a couple of friends and they primarily use the weight machines.

. And now to keep it on topic, I think I'm gunna join a gym once I settle in to this boring new town.

Woo! And don't worry I don't much mind it going off topic. I tend to accidentally de-rail threads anyway.

Too worried about results day to focus on anything else. hoping to start gym soon. Just need to find out which one is the best one. considering I have like a good 4 which are walking distance and 1 that is a 5 minute drive

I am going to start going to the gym regularly soon, just looking around at a few options for the one I like best. I wish I had started going earlier though, looks like I was missing out on a lot of interesting classes!
It does sound like it will be the only thing on my regular summer schedule too! :biggrin:

Ahh I'm not a fan of classes myself, I prefer to do my own thing.

I joined the gym that is like a 50 minute walk away because it was the only one with a deal on that allowed a one off month membership, the others had minimum months membership which would have been pointless and a waste of money for me.

Aye I'd say so, also if they have facilities you'll want to use, such as a swimming pool or a boxing area.

Yes! I understand some gyms make it near impossible to cancel contracts and it can become a nightmare. :confused:

So I have been looking at local family gyms - less likely to rip you off than some chains! At least the 50 minute walk can be part of a warm up? :biggrin:
