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

[Rofesleg]

The gym awards your efforts with a jacuzzi and a splash about in the swimming pool. And maybe a sauna.

Nothing works the biceps like removing a stubborn weed. Great advice as always from Expo.

Even when we lose, we win.

Mental health. For that 2 hours I'm in the gym I don't think about anything else but that, it gives me time to switch off, to just have time by myself.

What’s your views on exercise bikes?

Are you that bloke I keep seeing with a permanent black eye.

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.

Is this you?

I cycle mainly just to annoy people who drive petrol/diesel cars. I am way more courteous to EV drivers.

That's a bit discriminatory, some of us don't have the option of an EV.

I walk fast and also cycle a bit of variety is never a bad thing.

I thought I would just check via Garmin.
My tracked walks last year to date are 1342 miles walked .
3285 Miles cycled.
About 5.5k driven in my Van. of which 2000 miles was driving to Spain and back.
So when you add on the un tracked walks I will probably have walked and cycled more than driven.
Happy enough with that.

I do more than that going for the paper.

Why don’t you stop typing. It will save you 20 minutes.

We’ve created multiple industries by inventing the gym so while it’s fine to exercise in your own bubble space there’s obvious opportunities and reasons why we like or support the gym. The main goal is to keep healthy habits at the forefront of your daily routine and not get sucked into why am I doing this or have distractors or negative influences disrupt your mindset.

Work out for the fingers tho innit? That's your gym.

fast fingers = fast hands.

I think you’ll find that people know they can do it walking fast but the bike is a status thing for men at least. It’s become a bit of d*ck measuring contest.
