The TFP Health Club

^^^^Never too late to make positive changes. Good for you.

 

I think it's great when couples work out together. Maybe one day when she's finished her treatments, my woman will go to the gym with me again.

 

We do yoga three times a week together. It's awesome and hilarious.

 

I love when he gets "sassy bottom" and I get to call him out since he's finally learned to tuck his tailbone properly and now it's just a matter of remembering. I get the giggles. And, he can finally see that I AM flexible, dammit. Ha ha ha.

 

my work out is on my property, clearing trees and leaves, as of late..snow and Ice. I get a very good combination of healthy activity that has the added benefit of home improvement. I hate the gyms.

 

I hate gyms also. Even when there's a bunch of lovely ladies, I would rather just be able to work out without having to wait on people who have no idea how to use the equipment and no sense of responsibility of putting equipment back the way it was when they got to it. No wiping down sweaty benches and leaving weight on the bars, or not putting it back where they got it, makes me slightly psychotic... And eff all the January/February New Year's Resolution dipsticks. Just go ahead and quit already, you know you're going to...

I'm a bitter, bitter man.

Good news is I'm buying a house, should be done by July, and I'm going to buy my own equipment again. Squat rack, bench, and about 500 lbs of weight should do. And maybe a cardio machine of some sort.

 

I'm over 50 and am in good health just over weight, from what my insurance carrier wants, and I still feel the old fashioned staying busy is the best exercise. @cayvmann I am happy for you, buying your own home. I love mine and it's just a double wide in the sticks of OK

 

I'm catching up. I'll be 48 in June.

 

I can hate the gym, but I love the gym. I want it full of "meat heads", I want it to be full of people just a bit to a lot better than I am physically. I get my headphones on and I get in the zone.

Then when I see someone curling 60 in the squat rack when I need it, I want a home gym very badly.

 

^^^ Yep, I'm a member of a gym with at least a football field's size inside and only two squat racks, and there's always somebody who wants to do curls in the rack, or better yet drag dumbells from all the way across the gym to the squat rack to do dumb bell exercises in the squat rack's mirror. I say get rid of the mirrors and you'd have a lot less dipshittery. I go to the gym to work, not primp

 

It's mentally and physically exhausting to battle—or resign myself to sit and wait for—the pencil leg meatheads obsessively bench pressing in my gym's one squat rack when everything I need to be doing that day relies either on the single Olympic bar we have, the rack itself, or both. Maybe I should switch gyms, but I've got a good thing going there otherwise and don't want to lose that.

 

Holeeeeeeeeeeeee Crap, last night I was lucky to walk up to the squat racks and find one empty. They were full up until I got there and then there was a line of people waiting to get on them the whole time I was working out. It didn't help that the other rack had what I call a 'camper'. He just took the rack and did everything he could think of while there. It takes me about 45 mins to get through my squat workout (because I'm old and do a crap-ton of sets), but this guy was there when I got there and there after I left. He did overhead presses, then curls, then he pulled the bar to the floor to do deads. All of these exercises can be done elsewhere... I gotta move to a serious gym, or get my own.

 

On the third day of using my fitness pal to track my calories.

 

I seriously need to get back into some kind health routine. Maybe I'll do WW again?
