How many times do you go to the gym or excercise etc?

I was going to the gym religiously pre-xmas 4-5 times a week. Since Xmas I've only been to the gym once  :smiley:

TBO I'd rather slam my knob in the car door then go the gym at the moment.... So please motivate me to get back into it FFS!

Going to the gym is for vain feckers!  :grin: 5 a side twice a week, and that constitutes my fitness regime! If u want to get fit, go for a run, or have a sank in the bathroom with door and windows closed and the shower on as hot as it goes.  :laugh:

I used to go everyother day, but gotten more into different ways of excercise now, more into riding my bike, walking the dogs, running with my mums dog an weights at home.

Much more enjoyable running outside, even if it is pissing down!

So im not encouraging you to the gym, im encouraging you out of it!

Gym 3 x a week, bike ride once a week.

Joined a new gym after moving house. New gym is only 3 min drive or quick ride away. Being near
makes a big difference for me.

I've been back at the gym since I got the all clear from the Docs in November.

4 nights a week, trying to rebuild my cardio & strength.

I was the opposite to you last year.  The previous year I went 2-3 times a week.

Fed up of being over-weight and lacking energy so that's my motivation.  Now going 3 times a week  :smiley:

What about traveling back from the gym? If you've had a heavy leg workout, they're likely to be like jelly!

I hate running. I'd much rather cycle if I'm going to do cardio, which is why I drive to the gym. It's easier to get the motivation to leave the house if you're driving to the gym than running too.
