YAY for no gym!! LOL

You are probably looking at my post and wondering why I am so happy to never have to set foot in a gym again.Â Well, my sweet hubby knows that I never have time to go and that I dearly HATE to work out in front of men. (No offense).Â I always feel so self consious in a gym.Â Well, my hubby took on mowing lawns for extra money and bought us a stationary gym grade bike for home!!Â YAY!!!Â I can be in the comfort of my own bedroom, nice big fan, and whatever music playing I want.Â I am so happy with this purchse!Â I used it for 32 minutes yesterday, and will be using it again today since it is already raining and I can not go to the pool.Â Hopefully this will work well for me and I will be able to loose a lot of weight faster.

I have one too, they are especially great for rainy or snowy days.

Cool Have Fun

I like working out in the Gym our town has a small gym and I'am a memeber, but I would love to have my own bike and treadmill at home.

Thanks Connie! It is really becoming very good because I can get up and run to the potty since I have tripled up on my water intake. I never have to worry someone will take my machine. LOL

If I could afford to go to the gym I dont think I would either I cant stand working out in front of people its so embarrassing.

Between gym membership being through the roof and the embarassment I always felt, saving up money for this bike was an awesome investment.

I got soooo tired of going to the gym - it's a hassle when you can workout at home or just go out your front door for walking, hiking, kayaking, etc. in the fresh air. I put together a home gym off Craig's List and FreeCycle for under $50 and I love it!!! Hubby did all the hauling, which was the hardest part (but a benefit since everything was put together.) It also helps us save money off that pricey gym membership. Way to go on setting up your own home workout situation - what a great hubby :)

I also discovered the streaming workout videos at NetFlix and just play a workout routine on my 'puter when I feel like doing something different.
