Why do people go to the gym, cycle, etc?

Always comes back round this one, gents. Was walking in the park the other day and was chatting to a couple walking around. Their son was sat down and they mentioned he was 'saving himself for the gym'. I replied that he was already in the gym - it was surrounding him and he was sat in it. I went and told him but he wasn't interested.

Again, was walking the dog near me and a couple of young women were getting in a vehicle with all their gear on. Asked them where they were off to and they said the gym. I'd noticed the house they came from had needed some gardening - so I said 'Nevermind the gym, there's your gym' pointing at the garden. They didn't seem to like it. Took their reg plate and I'll get that vehicle a ticket if I see a parking violation or might just clamp it myself.

Same goes for these cyclists. I always say why not just walk fast? It's cheaper as well.

Some people just don't like being told gents. Anyway, rant over.
 
With obesity on the rise any form of exercise is brilliant, whether that be walking in the park, cycling, going to the gym or doing the gardening. There are many reasons that lad might be in the gym. Mental health, social aspects, specific sporting goals, medical reasons… he might not have wanted to tell you why. And the fact you’re saying you’ll clamp or give them a ticket says more about you than it does them.

Shark well and truly jumped on this one I'm afraid.

I like running in the gym and outside. However I find I use slightly different muscles when switching between them.

I find that if I alternate between the 2, I can run most days. If I try doing either one only, I can't.

The other think I like about the treadmill is not having to think about crossings, cyclists, pedestrians etc. I can just switch my brain off an exercise.
