TA that I am considering going on an exercise binge. This is not me. But I need to get more exercise or risk dying due to nothingness.

The way I see it is this: exercise causes stress, stress leads to heart-attack and stroke and all kinds of snuffing it Guv'nor. I'm with the Japanese, as they say at Sumo bouts: "Okikute ugokasenai Fujisan mitai da", or "He is as grand and immobile as Mount Fuji"! :pac:

Wise words Jim San but I fear if I don't start doing some exercise I will be the same size as Mount Fuji

When I was in college one of my housemates was entering miss ireland, and used to go to the gym every evening. Some days she'd bring me with her and I would sit in those giant ball things talking to her while she ran like a lunatic on the treadmill.

Wouldn't be my cup of tea now to be honest

My hands are cut to pieces from lifting and pull ups. I don't mind that so much except that holding my cup of tea actually burns my hands >.<

I used to hate getting callouses between my thumb and my index finger and then when they started bleeding :mad: and it's such a hard place to keep a plaster on too

Running on a treadmill is definitely one of my trivial annoyances. It's the single most boring bloody thing you can do. I had to do it on holidays and I hated every minute of it.

Big boobies combined with dodgy knees mean I'm not designed for running

One of those can be cured with the help of a good sports bra - boobage isn't really an excuse! :pac:

Rainbow I'm not built for running.

He's not lying either

Boom_Bap · 06-03-2015 10:33AM

why would you put a sportsbra on a knee?

Your standard gym sucks. Treadmills suck. Fixed weight machines suck (although so help you develop technique), waiting for someone to finish (tee hee) sucks, people not cleaning sweat sucks, the creepy dude that looks at your dong in the changing room sucks (or at least wants to).
I had a nasty knee injury that I needed to attend a gym as part of the physio and it killed me a little inside. I'd never join one again.

But, I would happily use the equipment in the BJJ/MMA gym my missus and kid goes to. Much better environment.

Agreed BB. I like having Ben Dunne membership because it's cheap and handy, but I workout in a private gym and run outdoors.

rainbow kirby · 06-03-2015 10:45AM

I have a pool membership which covers a decent chunk of the pools in London and a separate gym membership because my OH likes our local gym. I only really tend to use the gym once a week though to do a core strength workout, most of what I do is swimming or outdoor running/cycling.

TA'd at how crowded the gym is at peak time - mine has about 20% more members than it really should and the opening of a new branch around 2km away (Finsbury Park) has not helped.

Stupid milk ad - "since I was a kid, I've always felt most at home in nature.The energy..." - what? You got all that from a glass of milk? Milk stolen from a cow who has had her calf taken off her and sold for veal? Milk designed for a herbivore with five digestive chambers? Nature you say? Hmmmmmm.........

The cows are grand and happy on grass and the cow and calf never built a bond so neither of them miss each other anyway and also most of the calves live till 24 months so they do

Am itchy nose. Grrrrrrrr

Hugely overweight woman in the queue in front of me, to her friend: 'I make sure to weight myself before I've put on deodarant and any make up to make sure I get a true measurement'

I eat beef, and dairy products, and would probably try veal if the opportunity arose, however I doubt very much that cows are all that happy happy with the situation.

That is the one thing that would get me out on the street shouting my head off. Pure ignorance. What if you had an emergency?

OldNotWIse · 06-03-2015 11:24AM

The Irish Mammy passive aggressive rubbish that adult children of my generation must endure. You know when you know they've a bee in their bonnet over something because they make it perfectly clear, so you decide you'll call them on it and ask straight out if there is anything wrong and you get the terse icey "what make you think I am annoyed with you?" - oh ffs can't be dealing. So much f.ucking energy wasted by them playing these stupid games - dropping hints and going out of their way tos how that they are annoyed but not having then decency to just bloody well say, "I'm annoyed with you because of X".

Ah yes, one of these F1 engineers. Probably uses carbon-fibre knickers and a titanium underwire. :pac:

That must be why the cows cry then.
