I mean Gym. Tonight I went to the gym for the first time in 43 years.
Lots of fit women
Lots of fit men
Lots of aching body parts
It's a whole new world. Right now, I think I prefer the pub and early death. What would you prefer?

I practicly live in a pub... But I haul kegs of beer every day so I also work out! It's the best of both worlds!

All my friends go to the gym, and play sports. I give them grief and tell them it's carcinogenic and will catch up on them.
I spent the last few hours down in the pubs, couple of pints, couple of smokes, bit of a chat.
God it gets me through the week.

After years of proudly being as inactive as possible, I joined the local gym last year.
However, I only became a member because it has a pool, as I always enjoyed swimming.
What mainly made me do it was the fact that I've become a much better cook over the last few years and have unlocked many tasty secrets which I am keen to expand upon, nearly all of them including large amounts of cream and butter!
Back in the good old days, my regular weekend regime of clubbing and sleep deprevation would keep me fit and trim, but since I gave that up, I've noticed that my gut has been expanding exponentially.
Swimming is the only thing remotely sport like that I might do, and so that's why I joined the gym.
In a year and a half, I haven't ever even been in the room where the machines are, not even for a look!

Stay out of there Lazy, you're better off.
I walk a lot and convince myself that I'm doing enough. I used live with a guy who would drive 5 miles to the gym and back just to run roughly the same amount on a threadmill.
