I have been horrible about getting enough exercise and finally bit the bullet and joined a local gym. It seems like a pretty good deal to me, seems well equipped, unlimited access including hydromassage and tanning bed (would never use that, though), unlimited classes, nice private locker room and showers, and I can take a guest with me every time I go, $20 per month. No pool or other water features, unfortunately. I have only had access to specialized classes for yoga and pilates for a long time, which seem to run $8-$10 each, so this seemed amazingly inexpensive.
But ... I have such mixed feelings about paying to use a gym. All that energy with no tangible practical result; I always wanted a lifestyle that provided me with the exercise I need simply walking, maybe biking, gardening, fishing, potting, whatever. I guess I should be proud of myself for putting my health above some lofty ideals that never come to pass, but it feels like a defeat.
You?
