going to the gym is always a positive because you snowball into other healthy lifestyle changes like eating better and drinking more water, for example
mm yeah that happens... either that or you just get very good at standing about leaning on exercise equipment while staring vacantly into space
SAID - Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand
I wish I had better access to one. I have a membership to LifeTime Fitness through my work and it's a FANCY gym, but it's 20 minutes from my house. With 2 small children, a quick hour workout becomes about 2 hours. I work out with my spin bike in the basement. I've also got a bench and adjustable dumbbells, but I miss the community of the gym.
