To Gym or not to Gym
Author : Health Media Today, Category : Exercise and Fitness
It is that time of the year in Canada when the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and it is becoming harder and harder to motivate yourself to go to the gym. My gym has a large window overlooking a busy Toronto street. During those cold and rainy days it is a great motivator, looking out that window while managing to get in a great workout wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Now that the weather has taken a turn for the better, that window is now working against me. It is near impossible to be working out at the gym with the weather so great outside.
So what do we do and still manage to stay in shape? The issue with the nice weather is that it is all too tempting to meet friends on patios for drinks and pub food or just sit around our backyards doing nothing. Me personally, I suspended my membership to the gym and have started biking everywhere I go. Yes, even for drinks and patio food with my friends! While I like to stay active and in shape, I also love the interaction and fun beer and nachos with good friends provides me. The extra calories and fat are well worth it for me.
So what does this riduculous rant about my drinking problem mean to you? We have a short summer here in Canada, get out enjoy it, squeeze in workouts where you can and make sure you enjoy time with friends and family.
