Quitting the Gym!

From the end of this month, I've put my gym membership on hold for the rest of the year. I'm not giving up exercise though. I just figure getting into summer, I want to play outside!

The plan is running 4 days a week and popping up to the gym near my house (@ $4 a casual visit) to do weights a couple of times a week. Or maybe investing in some more dumbells and doing weights at home.

I also want to buy a bike, just a cheap secondhand one (I want a purple dragster with a flower basket like I had when I was 10 - that bike ruled).

With the money I save on gym membership, I might even go out and do something new and exciting. I've become bored with what the gym has to offer and I hate having to fit myself around a class schedule.

As to the last entry, thanks for all your comments on my huge gap! Blogger did weird thing with the table and, even with my mad html skillz, I couldn't figure out why.

I bought a great set of dumbells 2 weeks ago from Rebel online. On sale from $79 to about $60 and then as a new customer I got the delivery chucked in. 2 bars and 4 different plates - I love them!

Did your bike have a gold banana seat?

Great idea - Especially when that will work out so much cheaper!

I know what you mean about needing to take a gym break. I'm on one too at the moment. I think as long as you keep up other activities its a great thing - that way when you get back into it you enjoy it again rather than seeing it as a chore!

It's good to read about someone who's done it - gives me hope.

Ohhh the bike souds hot! (said in an un-ironic Paris Hilton way)

Sounds like a terrific idea - getting sunshine & fresh air instead!
