Fitness and Fun are Not Mutually Exclusive
By
LIFE Guide
on November 11, 2007
People join gyms by the droves. New Year's resolutions spout from the lips of well meaning miscreants and saints alike. This, all in an effort to achieve a better quality of life. To this i posit the query, "Shouldn't achieving a better quality of life be enjoyable and fun, inasmuch as it is life that is being proffered in exchange for LIFE?"
LIFE, that is Living In Full Enjoyment should be abundant in each link of an endless chain of moments. Check out their approach to wellness/fitness

Acknowledging that gym's are boring and trying to inject more "entertainment" into the experience is not a solution to the problems associated with living an unhealthy life.
If you are worried about a sedentary lifestyle and its ill effects, go on a construction course, buy some tools, get a load of timber and build something or learn about horticulture, get an allotment and dig yourself thin and eat the fruits of your labours. Or, if you can't be arsed with those options, get a bicycle.
Fucking gym bollocks.
I am enlightened by your point and am glad to find agreement in our ideology. In the 21st century, humanity is blessed with a myriad of options through which to find enjoyment and consequently sensual and spiritual fulfillment.
I personally do NOT promote gym membership as a means to the end! At the same time, i do not discourage it either. For, after all who am i to pass such an edict, as to purport to stand as the inarguable prophecy to each individual's joy and hence well-being?
Your position seems somewhat less meritorious in it's exclusion of the reality of millions of persons living in the urban sprawl that has become concomitant with human advancing, which by the way is responsible for your virtuous instruction via the medium of a personal computer. IMHO, we are like-minded in the final analysis: if you can't be arsed with my brand of fun, activity and passion ... do something ... and BE!
LIFE on purpose. LIFE=Living In Full Enjoyment

Pardon my previous outburst.
I live in a big sprawl and I keep very active without gymnasiums or spasmodic rock climbing holidays.
If there's one thing that should be encouraged over everything else, it's learning to self motivate and the use of one's imagination.
I met a guy who had a stroke and he was depressed because he couldn't afford some weights for getting his paralysed arm in shape: he wanted to feel sorry for himself, and that's understandable. I cheeringly suggested that he got some carrier bags from the supermarket and stick a couple of bricks in it or do the same with a 2 litre bottle of water so he could vary the weight easily. Whether he got on with it, I don't know: he disappeared from the area. (probably emigrated and started the carrybag gym and is now a millionaire).
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't need anything fancy to get to where you want to be: just the will to do it and some imagination.
Well said!

When does your regime reach the point at which it offers guidance on how not to write like a pompous prat? Soon, I fervently hope.
Well said?
oops
StevieB: it is on our list of matters requiring our utmost attention. In the meanwhile, we'll be taking a station break to blow some trees and holla at some honeys. Yah, feel me? Get at me, One.
