Not sure how I'd feel about co-workers. After all, they'd be there too!<br /><br />I prefer to work out at home because it's cheaper, I can do it any time of day or night, and I don't have to deal with getting to and from the gym - which, by the way, I think should be counted as part of the workout!Noisy Quiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127095448807063093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-47776394517278727702011-12-31T02:03:32.207-08:002011-12-31T02:03:32.207-08:00Annie and I have been walking daily (hiking) on Be...Annie and I have been walking daily (hiking) on Bell Springs Road, which is dirt, since 1985. Doesn't cost a dime, and has paid dividends, as far as closeness goes, since we began. Great look at why neither of us wants to ever go into one of the health clubs. That and the fact that the nearest one is more than an hour away.Mark O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295762252612104201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-51352327737206861732011-12-30T20:05:57.817-08:002011-12-30T20:05:57.817-08:00You made me laugh!

I also joined Curves once, and HATED it because the owner made us chat and even gave us little quizzes while we worked out. I had to introduce myself EVERY TIME I went. yeah, that lasted about 2 months. Now, I keep the jiggles at home!Julie DeMillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929034148906710834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-3431096519726640372011-12-30T15:24:43.124-08:002011-12-30T15:24:43.124-08:00I do my work outs at home too.

I like working out early (before work) so that means 5:30. The two gyms that are reasonable close don't open until 6:00. About 8 or 10 years ago, I traded in gym membership for an elliptical cross-trainer, a rowing machine, and a stationary bike. I alternate those machines with early morning walks or bike rides - avoid getting in a rut. With gym membership at $40/mo (which I am certain has gone up by now), I long ago made good on the initial $$$ spent on the equipment. I'm not sure how much good the daily exercise actually does but , like Larissa says, at least I am getting some.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-58120995800173727692011-12-30T09:44:25.553-08:002011-12-30T09:44:25.553-08:00I go to the gym, I need the equipment. Or rather, ...I go to the gym, I need the equipment. Or rather, want it because if I don't get up and go there, I will find something more "pressing and urgent" to do here ate home. I ignore the girls in lycra (or lulu lemon here in BC), and just focus on what I need to get done. But exercising is the important part, who cares where we get it...right?Larissa T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18054129254135419707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790267042141485205.post-11030493300886111132011-12-30T08:40:11.440-08:002011-12-30T08:40:11.440-08:00I agree!

I might have to make uncomfortable small talk with neighbors when I really just want to get my exercise groove on and over.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754778263332756663noreply@blogger.com
