Do you not think the gym is an enormous waste of money.
Paying daft amounts to run on the spot, when you could actually just - run somewhere.

Rowing machines - buy a boat.

Dumbells - Tin of beans with 2p's sellotaped for adjustable weight.

I'm a fair weather exerciser
I like to run in a warm room that's well lit rather than a damp cold street that's dark.

I also don't own a rowing machine and I like to row.

when I went to the gym I tended to mainly use the cross trainer
and some of the weights machines.

unfortunately cross country skiing isn't an option in Devon.

Stop skiiiing.
It's got too many "i"'s

Put a jumper on, carry a torch.
Just sit on the carpet with a couple of baguettes in your hand for the rowing machine. The carpet burns also irritate any pesky bottom-worms that may be residing in your back passage.

But I can't afford a boat! :(
Although if I am to believe Mythbusters I can make a boat out of duct tape!

See above for worm removal
and boat related exercise.


Any further questions?

Nope
I think I'm going to watch that Mythbusters episode again!
