So ive done it.. ive joined a Gym!

[Messy]

Well, i live opposite a Gym (pretty much).

They have just built it, its a David Lloyd. Apparently going to be one of the largest in the country, it sure does look huge, and the facilities are nothing short of 5 Star.

I get a Corporate discount through my work, so got it slightly cheaper.

£62 a month for a gym? what are you doing? buying it?

[trevoriv]

Mine has decent facilities, it's used by Bolton Wanderers players and has a full sized indoor running track

But i did get the special retard discount for being a window licker / insurance salesperson.

Been to the David Lloyd up here and its very expensive for what seems to be very little reason other than the staff looking down at you! The family membership is like £200 a month!!

Wtf?! Where?

[pwntifex]

Lincolnshire, more of a park than a gym though, as it's got loads of stuff. Somethingsomething acre grounds, old stately home. In the middle of the woods and all that.

It has the works, including free access to the golf course + grounds for members, big discounts at the bar and hotel, etc.

Nice having all those amenities on your doorstep, innit? Makes regular gyms feel so boring.

What was involved in the Fitness test? How did they determine what was average and excellent?

[TomR6]

The score was determined on the cycle, 5 min fitness test, monitors your heart rate and gives a score at the end.

They also did weight, waist, chest, hips, bicep, thigh and calf measurements as well as body composition ie what fat, muscle and water %.

Then finished with a strech test.

Hehe, HR doesnt matter too much, its the speed in which you return to your resting heart rate.

Core Stability training, is using the Busu balls, the larger balls, and training using them. Thinks like wood chops, and other primal movements.

The theory on exercising on the balls, and balancing on them is that you learn to balance more, as whatever you push upwards, theres an equal force pushed back to you, and you learn to balance this using core strength training.

For example, when, in life do you ever lie on a bench, and push weights up? Its totally unrealistic to built proper core strength, now, do the same exercise whilst balancing back first on a ball and you not only have to push the weight up, but balance yourself as you have the equal weight being pushed against you.

If that makes sense.

Was at the local 24HourFitness (fatness?) this morning & was having a laugh at 2 dimwits trying to hit on the hottest looking girl in the place. They were getting nowhere fast & it was quite amusing to watch.....

.. right up until she looked at me & said "Hey dad... tell these assholes to leave me alone"

WTF? So I tell em to bugger off & leave "my kid" alone.
