Low-tech treadmill: Alternate running and walking in place from your own living room, preferably while watching old TV shows on Netflix. (Anyone else love The A-Team, Charlie's Angels or Red Dwarf?) No need to travel to the gym, and if you have young kids at home as I do, no childcare fees required for this activity!
Just think, if you removed the weights from all the machines in the gym and instead changed a resistance value and use that to generate electricity, then the gym could start paying YOU to go there.
This captures a big part of (a) what I love about being a runner, and (b) what I love about living out in the countryside. I can step out the front door, and my "gym" is right there.
u don't need to live in the country for that. i can easily hop on my bike and do about 35 miles of intensive cardio right out my door and i certainly do not live in the country.
this is really a caricature isn't it? gyms are not the waste of time that some outdoors exercise snobs make them out to be. i cycle or run long distance just about everyday of the week yet i still have a use for the gym for core and strength workouts.
I have no good comments on gym culture except they're a great place to waste my money and a great place to watch trainers stink eye me when I steal their workouts and listen in about their nutrition suggestions.
+Amanda Blain We should also have the sam emoment for those who have a leash in their hand , walking an "invisible dog". I've seen that a few times and it always baffles me!
The irony I see is many people going to the gym trying to get the closest parking spot they can. They're too lazy to walk an extra few feet to the gym but not too lazy to work out.
thats funny, most the workouts they do in the gym can be done anywhere at anytime pretty much. they waste close to 100 dollars and they probably go only 2 a week and do easy workouts.
I understand why people would use the gym if they have no room at home for equipment or need the extra incentive of having paid a whole lot of money and not wanting to waste it.
Thats why when I go to the Gym, I go really early in the morning or late at night. avoid the traffic. Best part about when I'm done and coming back home home in the morning, I have no traffic on my side of the road, but the other side is bumper to bumper.
And walk many kilometres on a stationary walker,lift big iron balls, workout with many many iron devices and sweat it out religiously. When it comes to digging a hole or mending shrubs, or mowing the lawn or other feats requiring physical strain, you employ hired labour and either watch them work, or are too busy with your internet, or work, or TV.Great ways to be in perfect shape and health
Let's have a moment for of silence for all those who are stuck on their chair and can't get their massive asses out of it and who are playing Farmville on Facebook planting stuff as a self-purpose.
Hey…. At least they are exercising…. With the obese problem in the US…. I'm happy with pple working out any way possible…. Be active, eat right = feeling better.
We complain people aren't exercising enough. Then we complain they're exercising. There's another piece of irony.
And there's more in a gym than a stationary bike.
Also,
o Maybe people don't like to ride their bikes with the traffic? o Maybe people cannot fit their bikes into their car to go to a park? o Maybe people like going to the gym to use both a stationary bike and something else like a pool? o Maybe people like listening to music while they cycle, but it's too dangerous outside? o Is this anecdotal or have all those stuck in traffic been polled?
We humans sure make too many assumptions about what we don't know of.
I shared this a month ago and no one commented or shared it, guess if I had boobs or was famous that would help. oh well still a good post and funny thought
Actually riding a bicycle or running in the place where traffic is stuck is the equivalent of smoking from viewpoint of lungs. So they are doing the right thing. At first look it sounds like really stupid thing though
No need to harry as they are going to do a job where they will be stationary on bicycles wasting their energy for nothing just to keep their body fit. In staid of that they can do use their energy for the useful of the community by cleaning the city or by growing or by cleaning their gardens or any thing else useful. I am not against the GYM but against the wasting of time and energy and at the same time the extra food they usually eat. \ Dr. Rabie \ UAE\.
I was going to and then I received a notification!
Not there yet but getting ready to head to the gym to run nowhere on a treadmill.
#pollensucks
Hey! I crossfit! I drive to climb a rope!
Just take a jog around the block. It's free, and fresh air. +jussayin
Lol it sad but true
+Tiffany Henry When you're living in the smog of LA, it's not so fresh xD A little drive to the forest, and it's a little fresher =]
LOLLL
Rode my bike to and from… and went for a lunchtime run. Yay for office showers.

Amasing!
Or in my case stuck in traffic waiting to use the elliptical!
I love it

I love this!!!
Brilliant….

lmao !
and an amen please, and for the gas wasted.
Doesn't everybody use a mobile bicycle to get to the gym and ride a stationary bicycle?
Morons. If they had ridden a real bike.
Great Post. I have found a way to work a 5 mile bike ride into my daily commute, and it is one of the best things I have done in years.

haha
lol
Going nowhere fast….
And when they get there, they'll probably ride an escalator to the door.
I hope they don't have to walk far to the gym from where they park their car.
I have no good comments on gym culture except they're a great place to waste my money and a great place to watch trainers stink eye me when I steal their workouts and listen in about their nutrition suggestions.
well if you rode a real bicycle, you would get stuck in traffic too XD
Poor people.
+Robert Bailey That is only if you abide by the rules of the road, and don't weave in and out of cars or go between the stationary vehicles…
Thous poor bastedos.
LOL! so funny!
hahahahaha!! wait… they should just run there

Now that's funny

so true…
and this is being shared .. niiiice
Good thing I don't get stuck in traffic. I weave in and out of traffic on my Bicycle. to go to the beach to go swim that's my gym hey! it's free
Ha ha – not me – I'm stuck in traffic down by the river trying to get to the gym to use my rowing machine. =/
+Amanda Blain We should also have the sam emoment for those who have a leash in their hand , walking an "invisible dog". I've seen that a few times and it always baffles me!
so funny h aaaaaaa i ride a bike to the gym to have a bloody rest lol
Hilarious!!!!
+Alex Zinovenko Still better than people with a leash in their hand walking their KIDS!
thats so damn right
Only in America. Nuff said.
I wonder about the folks who ride the elevator to the penthouse gym to climb on a stairs machine… Just walk up, shower and go home.
ha…ha ha!
That's why I have a treadmill and a Concept2 at home.
XD
There are other types of equipment at a gym.
Q: What do gyms, dating sites, and Facebook have in common?
+Tyler Hampton yeah well you are probably gonna be on the stationary bike sometime while you are there..
what would be the point in a moments silence? coz they are not gonna hear it.
Haha! Too true. ashamed to say i might often be one of them.
Here here I'll drink to that
Bwahhh hahha. I love this. So true. #firstworldproblems
eh…
fell so bad for bike people
UMMMMM………OK?
Many of us drive because we already have to move the car to in order to take our bike down in the garage rafters.
so true
Lil halarious
LOL. Too funny & do true.
The irony I see is many people going to the gym trying to get the closest parking spot they can. They're too lazy to walk an extra few feet to the gym but not too lazy to work out.
true true
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
You would not be implying that they should ride bicycles to the gym? Only to avoid the traffic of course.
Lol
When I lived in Chicago I saw a guy in jogging suit jogging while smoking a cigar. I figured it would probably be healthier if he watched TV instead.
right, it´s so much better to stay at home hypnotized by social media,
Amazing how ironic we can be in our actions and not even know it.
Haaaaaaaa! #hilarious
amen!
That's funny but true.
It's the only way to work off that "light brownie" you had earlier!
haha
oath
hahahahahah! thats preeety funnyy
lol hahahahhahahahah made my day! love it
That. Is. Perfect. If you're able, get out and run people! Push up, pulls ups and core work…you don't need much else.
How about a moment of silent for those that after being stuck in traffic go home to sit in front of their TV sets for hours.
I'd take stationary bicycles any time of the day, and get healthier, than to sit in front of a TV or be inactive.
thats funny, most the workouts they do in the gym can be done anywhere at anytime pretty much. they waste close to 100 dollars and they probably go only 2 a week and do easy workouts.
Baha this made me wanna pull a gun out on the pope!
That is great
its true though
yes
Hahah these are the same people that mock me as I put put around on my little scooter
I understand why people would use the gym if they have no room at home for equipment or need the extra incentive of having paid a whole lot of money and not wanting to waste it.
ha ha! thats funny
that actually made me want to scream.
LOL!!!
apasi
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao

LOL

Ok, that made me chuckle!
And walk many kilometres on a stationary walker,lift big iron balls, workout with many many iron devices and sweat it out religiously. When it comes to digging a hole or mending shrubs, or mowing the lawn or other feats requiring physical strain, you employ hired labour and either watch them work, or are too busy with your internet, or work, or TV.Great ways to be in perfect shape and health
They closed the 405 freeway last night, and it sucked. At least when you're on a stationary bicycle nobody tries to cut you off.
ironically funny!
