I've only just started, and I'm rather pathetic at pushups (no upperbody strength, it's all in my manly, muscular legs). Yesterday I started, and did 20, broken up into 6, 6, 4, 4.

Started yesterday, I feel weak and powerless.

Actually, very sensible. That sounds like my start-up routine, every time I get back into it. The pace soon picks up if you just keep at it. (Memo to self: start doing sit-ups, lazy git.)

got to the 3rd week and it got hard so I stopped :-D
have got one of those cruncher things at home (mrs insisted) and I could do with toning the belly, so should really be doing more sit-ups

So will do some sit-ups and push-ups in addition to my cycling.

Hence I either cycle in't countryside while listening to music (on cyclepaths only!), or play on the ps3/360 while on the exercise bike. The pushup/situp routine doesn't take long, which is good.

even listening to music the exercise bikes and runners etc. were dull as fuck
yet I can happily swim 40 lengths without getting bored.

And all the muscle jocks took up all the weights machines.
Mind you, the ultra-hot Polish lasses were a perk.

Swimming bores me to tears and everyone is always in the way but at the gym I can zone out with my music on.

also, because I'm paying for it my innate stinginess ensures I actually go regularly.
