Subject: Cancelling the Gym Membership in favour of the outdoors
I cancelled my gym membership last year in favour of getting out there are being more outdoorsy. Going to the gym almost felt like a chore so Summer last year I started wall climbing and bought a bike in hope of incorporating fitness as a lifestyle. Has anyone else done anything this extreme or started new any crazy sport? How have people around you reacted to it?


One of my blog posts on the climbing masterclasses I had at the outdoors show.

Wow, that sounds like good fun Haven't ever done anything that "extreme", but I find going to the gym a chore I would not stick with, and have decided to invest in a pair of good walking boots and a Wii instead - things I actually enjoy doing to keep fit

Hi there

i've been thinking just the same thing lately. I've had to got to the gym to do workouts for a knee injury and it is a chore.

I just recently started hiking, paddle boarding, rowing and I'm trying rock climbing 2moro night after work.

Also thinking of trying sailing. I think the key is to switch it up when your having fun you don't focus on the exercise so much. I've dropped 3kgs(or about 1/2 stone) in a week.

My friend think I'm a little crazy but I grew up in country so I like getting outdoors most have been supportive though did get called a bitch by one friend. I said well I've worked my arse off that's why and I'm also still doing cardio and resistance in the gym in the mornings before work.
