I've always hated the gym. The whole concept is anathema to me. I LOVE exrcise though so I'll try to do it in other ways. Walk places instead of drive. Run instead of walk. Bike. Do martial arts (learning a skill!).
I'll do anything except work out in a sweat box.
I cycle to the gym, which is a great warmup to lift weights, which I do not have at home.
Bro, I'm the opposite to you. I cannot adhere to exercise that's done outside in an uncontrolled environment. I feel like a neanderthal. I also can't exercise if I'm not logging it, so it might not be an indoors vs outdoors thing.
Maybe it's the weather where I live. I also prefer to drive places, or take public transport. Anything with air conditioning. Anyway, nice to meet my fitness ideology nemesis.
Same here, I love taking the stairs instead of the lift! Highly recommend.
I agree in general but, living in a cold climate, gyms are necessary for me in the winter if I want to get exercise. It lowers the barrier for me to get exercise since it means I don't need to try to go running in full winter gear.
Gyms are depressing to me. They also stink.
I suppose I'm glad I have a low sensitivity nose. I think growing up with siblings might have had some blunting effect on my olfactory senses.
When public transport is deemed too communist by the plebs.
They stink and it's depressing especially in London.
Too bad the bike lanes here are swarmed with motorcycles. I will literally die riding a bike on the streets where I live.
Netherlands?
I doubt so
What makes you think that? Netherlands is notriously bad for cycling, I've never seen a bicycle there
Oh damn is it really? I thought it was good. I've been considering my options for moving there in the future and I had no idea.
they're joking or woefully ignorant. the government decided to prioritize cycles and the infrastructure is second to none.
It is very bicycle friendly, no idea what that other user is talking about...
Pretty sure they were joking. The "I’ve never seen a bicycle there" gives it away cos the place is rammed full of bikes!
Yeah I mean I was "window shopping" for living spaces there and all of the apartments touted some kind of bike parking with pictures showing them filled with bikes so I was confused.
I got so confused cause everything I saw indicated that but I haven't done in depth research on that specific topic so I thought it was something I just missed. Thanks, either way I'll be searching up the answers on my own haha
I could get a stationary bicycle at home but I like to be around people when I exercise.
I could take a train to the gym, but I don't like to be around other people.
I could get a regular bicycle, but I don't have anywhere to go.
I could bicycle to the gym but when I get there I'm too tired to exercise.
, but I don’t have anywhere to go.
..the gym maybe?
but when I get there I’m too tired to exercise.
I don't see how that's a problem? Two problems solved. You've exercised and saved money on the gym.
Its a joke.
A big part of the problem is the same people tasked with modelling traffic are well paid to design roads. Funnily they find that more road is always the solution
Where I live (major UK City) they're removing roads and traffic lanes to widen pavement and add in bicycle lanes.
Some places are definitely going in the right direction
Could have left it at stuck in traffic ngl
