I joined a gym. I've been talking about it for months that I had to start exercising and maybe join a gym. Then my Brother basically said "Either join a club or shut up."

It's one thing to actually join a club, it's another to actually go regularly... and not quit after 3 months. Congratulations! But I also wish you good luck!

There is no way I'd even join one unless I had somebody to go with me. I just know I wouldn't last very long by myself. I discovered a few years ago that the best way to remain active was to choose an activity that I really enjoyed doing, so I didn't have to tell myself "well now is time to exercise". I don't even feel like I'm out of breath or that my muscles are working hard, because I just enjoy what I'm doing so much! My sport is skating, both on ice and on wheels! I also stretch a bit at home. It wouldn't be a bad thing to do a few push-ups and sit-ups either.

Maybe if I stick with it I might go paintballing again. Then I might not feel like an old man on the field.

I joined a gym just before breaking my arm rollerblading.

ouch!

And they say sport is good for health
As Churchill answered when asked how he could live so old: "The sport. Never do sport." Hopefully, thanks to that, I will never break anything
*OUCH!* I broke a finger I'm doomed

I hadn't heard that one before!

Well it's been a month and a half now. I've been going to the gym at least 4 times a week. The exercising is going good. Now all I need to do is stop eating all the junk food. That’s the hard part. I’m a potato chip junkie.

Great! Just keep going!

i dont bother with a gym-my trampoline is good enough for me nice to hear its going well though! yes,cutting out junk food really is hard...i still have'nt gotten over not being able to have a MC donalds so often (before it was just once a week.now its probebly once a month) who cares if they're really fatty,its addictive stuff...*OW*...i think my gut just died
