[...] Phillygrrl used to work out, “but that was back when I worked at a gym and it was free.” I hate hate hate working out. In general. I have no will-power, never have. I used to work out, but that was back when I worked at a gym and it was free. Now that I’m actually paying for a membership, I rarely use it. What’s it been, seven months already? That was a waste of $150. Shoot. I would’ve been better off investing in yoga gear so I could at least fool people into thinking I work out. (A yoga mat can also double as a floor rug, people.)

I’ve never been to a gym, and I don’t plan on it! In the summer, I try to hang out with friends outdoors… I dance too, but a gym? never.

haha at the balanced meal requiring no utensils- I’m brown, technically NO meal requires utensils. I eat with my hands!

I hope this guy reaches his goal :)

I hear you PG! I’m not a gym person either and I spent way too much money on unused memberships in the past. And then I realized there are other ways to work out: 3 friends and I are sharing a personal trainer, 3 times a week. She comes to us: no gym, no music (or whatever we’re in the mood to listen to), no flat screen TV and a very girly friendly time! My other fun workout sessions are boxing (Joltin’ Jabs in Manayunk) and of course dancing (we even have bikini boot camps at the dance studio!)

What about these simple solutions for exercise:
0: “beach-volleyball with your friends” the original listed by you!
1) Wash most of your clothes by hand- good arm, hand exercise.
2) knead dough (atta) by hand – hand, finger muscle workout
3) play soccer- leg exercise
4) bicycle regularly – leg

I know what you mean. I have a Bally’s membership (3 year contract!) that I haven’t used since the first month I signed up. I just cannot get myself to the gym. The Eagles cheerleaders apparently go there, too. When that happens it’s like boner city there. I definitely need a home gym.
