    Speaking of which, I'm gonna have to get me back to the gym...

    I know your feeling exactly though Jon, I tend to do that a lot. I'm too lazy to go regularly, so when I do go I overdo it

    :rolleyes:

    I went through a phase last year where I went to the gym twice a week and I did like it at first because I could feel myself getting fitter but after a while I was stuck at the same sort of level and, being the impatient bugger that I am, I got bored and stopped going. :(

    I would like to be a little fitter but I prefer things like football or badminton which are more interesting than fannying around on a treadmill for ages. :D

    Aye, got to agree with Jill on this one, i find going to the gym boring as fuck, but on the other hand i'm totally content with stuff thats a challenge and gets the old adrenalin pumping - abit of excitment, as opposed to looking at four walls while your arms or legs are gonig 50 to the dozen:D

    The worse thing about the gym is alot of people dont know what to do - so they end up trying to do 20 reps on every single machine, then spend the next week in agony.

    Only work on 1 or 2 actual bodyparts each session - and dont do weights and cardio in the same workout ... only do one or the other....

    ... and if your in the gym for longer than 30-45 minutes your either a pro bodybuilder, or your doing it all wrong.


    ... alot of people quit really early on because they dont know most of that stuff... they go for 1-2 hour sessions, pedal away on the bikes, then go onto machines or weights...

    good advice. I either do weights or cardio. I cant do both in one session, cos im too tired, and cant do one properly....

    true true, its all about the split :) 30 mins is too short though, aim for 50 mins to an hour if your doing weights, include a 5 mins warm up and a 5 mins cool down.
