Ok. Need to shift that last stone.

Joined a gym on months trial .god it's so boring. There is a pool there so after gym I reward myself with a swim. Managed to do 20 smallish lengths . Have done this three times and the gym still boring. I will persevere until the end of the month so see if I notice any results.

Hmm maybe the gym is not for you? I belong to a gym and I do classes and I love it - can you find some form of exercise at the gym or elsewhere that you like?

I find the gym boring, have tried it on many occasions. Now stick to Aqua aerobics, which I love and walking.

I have discovered that the only way I can stick to exercise is by doing something I enjoy. Used to enjoy Body Pump but arthritis in my knees and shoulder put pay to that

Good luck with your persevarence, you never know, you may learn to love it 😏 Xx

I am in the same position, I need to lose that last stone as well. As for the gym then it sounds like the same chain I joined, the one with a pool and like you I found the gym so boring! I used to go every morning and swim my lengths, have some time in the jacuzzi and steam room and not bother with the gym! I shall have to look if my local one are doing any offers and like you, give it a final push to shift the last 14lbs or so John

I Will persivere and get my money's worth. Watch this space lol

[kantara71 in reply to Maryjbo]

yes go for it! I just checked, and my local DW Fitness are doing a £10 for 10 days offer so I might go for that

Maybe you should forget about the gym and just do the swimming! It's great exercise and it would be more motivating than the gym if you enjoy it. I got the swimming only pass at the leisure center I use because I figured there was no point in paying for something I'm not going to use!

Oh Maryjbo you made with laugh with the "God it's so boring" remark. I have never been to a gym maybe in a stone or two's time I might try it at the moment exercising at home. Do you have someone you can go to the gym with? I am afraid if it was me the swimming would win every time I am looking forward to getting back in the pool I know I could go now but it is the confidence issue I will when I loose a bit more weight.

Just a thought is there a instructor there who can give advice and perhaps an exercise programme to work too, having never been before I presume this is an additional extra £' s wise.

If the gym is really boring just have the swim not as a reward but it is a good all over workout.🏊 Bev

[Maryjbo in reply to Itsbab]

Well babs I Will contine with the swimming but will defo give up the gym when months trial done lol.

[Itsbab]

Don't blame you if you enjoy swimming that is the best exercise to do🏊🏊🏊🏊

I hate gym too! Fortunately for me I really like running. I hope you find some activity that you enjoy as well.
