Gym

[tynesider]

I love going to the gym, my workmates think I'm a freak! Not really to build up muscles but just to keep fit and tone myself up. I fel much better now that I vape and don't smoke.

Anyone else like the gym?

After watching Geordie Shore, I'll give it a miss, ta... Great advert for us up here that lot...

Never did a gym, Tyne, I get my exercise from walking as I love to take long walks. I also get it by doing chores around here, which seem to be neverending. lol

My stamina has increased, since I switched to e-cigs. I sometimes got winded when I was active, but no more.

Aye, they're far from a good example of the breed! I'm just fascinated by just how bad they are... I see some right clips, but those take the biscuit.

Closest I can say is I know several blokes called Jim, I enjoy going to see some of them, I walk there quite quickly so it could be a minor workout.

I was a gym freak many years ago. I had a little business selling body building supplies when Josh was a baby.

I was close to competing at one point in the fitness rather than the body building. Haven't had any interest in getting back in there for years, although when we go diving I really wish I was still working out, those damned tanks are heavy

[collie2011]

The gym? What's that, is that that strange building where people go in looking happy and come out all hot, sweaty and miserable looking??

In all honesty I used to love going to the gym, Mike used to finish at 10 and I finished work at 8 so i'd go to the works gym while I was waiting for him. It was great as I had it all to myself!!

Now I do the wii fit plus and hoping I can manage more than 10 minutes now i've given up the cigs lol

I must admit I love going and I love it when I'm finished. I only stay about an hour but go about 3 or 4 times a week. Plenty of jogging and situps etc. I can do even more now I stopped smoking. I started doing the weight watchers diet to support wor lass, I don't go to get weighed but I do the points at home. We both joined the gym together and Ive lost 1st 5lbs which is my target weight 11st 7lb. I feel much better in myself and oddly enough more confident. Only trouble is I can't help but perv at the lasses

Haha Tynesider. I used to just love sticking on one of the music channels on the big tv in the gym and getting on the treadmill and just running. I can't wait for the weather to pick up so I can get out there and jog!!

I lost 2 stone on weight watchers after I had Robyn. I used to go out with the son of a weight watchers leader and she gave me all the stuff years ago so I just started half heartedly doing it again and lost all my baby weight.

Good for you, thats excellent. I go to the DW gym in North Shields, everythings there loads of treadmills, cross trainers,pool,etc. It's expensive but there have been a lot of strokes and heart attacks in my family over the years and I'm doing everything I can so i don't become one of them. I can't play my football anymore because of my knee so keeping fit in the gym is the next best thing for me.
I've heard about the wii fit etc, are they any good ?
