Down the gym

I had a good workout at the gym yesterday. If you want to go to the gym in Lancaster you have a few choices - there's the Salt Ayre Pool and Gym, The University Sports Centre Life Fitness, the one in town above where Dixons was, or the place I go to.

Membership fee is zero. Its open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including Xmas, New Year, and Bank Holidays. You can do cycling, running, swimming, rowing - there's always lots to do. The view is always changing so you aren't just staring at some sweaty lycra-clad butt for an hour (although that may be a bad thing). Sometimes it gets a bit warm, but other times you'll get water gently sprinkled on your head to cool you down. There's also gentle ambient music. You'll find fewer people in the showers afterwards too.

So instead of driving to the gym, just walk through the door of your house that leads straight into Mother Nature's Exercise Palace.
