The gym thread

[Dan!]

Not the most helpful post in the world but its on topic-ish so il tell you anyway

I tried the gym about 2 years ago. Went with a friend of mine twice a week for about 3 months. We both did mostly 'body building' type of exercise, not as much on the cardio because its pretty boring My problem at the time was I couldnt drive so it was a PITA getting lifts there so often, but I decided to quit in the end and just make an effort to be generally more active in my lifestyle, walk to the shops that are 1 mile away, 5 mile + bike ride most weekends and bought myself a pull up bar which bolts to a door frame and some dumbells which I tried to use 3 or 4 times a week. Diet is fairly boring for me still but thats because of my twatting stomach, not as much fitness related. But I try and eat alot of generally healthy stuff, usually 6/7 portions of fruit/veg/salad every day, hardly any chocolate/sweets and a fair bit of bread/potato/meat. Seems to have worked well enough for me, I build muscle quite fast considering how little effort I put into it all
