I was surprised that someone could manage to be so serious about something that was so clearly meant to be light hearted. Figures, right? There's always someone.

First, I'll start by dividing the reps for each exercise by 10. Then I might be able to do most of them in 15 minutes. LOL.. Hi Keith, remember Darla and me?

I created these workouts in the first place because I don't usually have time to do stuff like p90x or other hour to 1 1/2 hour long programs at one time. Shorter workouts work the best for people like us :-) Bryan.

Some people do think that they need group support to workout. Those people are the ones who do not lose weight and keep it off. The goal of permanent weight loss is to become self motivated. The people who can't do that are doomed to failure. Now, I do understand what you mean about needing to get out and interact with people. I think they gym is completely the wrong place for that since it's dirty (I have always gotten sick when I've gone) and the workout itself is counterproductive to socialization (if you're talking you aren't doing it right). I'd like to see people taking their workouts more seriously and spending the time needed for socialization elsewhere. But, You are right. The way you stated it is exactly the way people think of fitness, as a social activity. That's sorta their problem :-) Wolf, you’re right.

Those who <i>will</i> work out, and know what exercise they enjoy, don't need the gym. Others simply wouldn't exercise without the discipline that is made easier by attending. It also gets you out of your "usual" environment where you are (likely) spending too many hours already. The change of surroundings is another helpful factor when new to working out, or needing to <i>get</i> out. That said, I don't belong to a gym either. Nor do my kids. They create their own exercise - including cycling, the pull up bar, tennis on the local court, etc. .-= BigLittleWolf´s last blog ..<a href="http://dailyplateofcrazy.com/2010/01/14/real-housewives-of-oc-why-are-we-still-watching/" rel="nofollow">Real Housewives of OC: Why are we still watching?</a> =-.
