Fitness 2015

Some of the tracks are mindless beats, which works well enough when it's loud enough and some are old classics revved up a bit. But when it's a cheap laptop mix with autotune vocals sung in Jutlandish Danish I really can't handle it.

Bump.

Popped out late this afternoon and did a 60 km loop over the downs to a local town/city, nice but oddly try/windy weather.

Fitness plan for this winter is, draw up a list of local routes/trips I use and try to keeping going to them for as long as possible, before Winter sets in and then pick them up asap when Spring comes. The reasoning being it'll encourage me to keep visit places for as long possible and hopefully limit the seasonal downtime / SDO during the long winter darkness.

I also aim to keep exercising through even if that only means going for evening walks in the cold after I finish work, rather than bike rides in the cold and rain.

Finally broke down and joined the gym.

On the plus side, there's a pretty decent bit of eye candy.

I miss having a gym. My apartment complex has a fitness room but the selection of equipment isn't that great.

Right, off now for a walk in the rain into the next county.

Starting on a good foot, I did something I hate and went to the gym this morning. We'll see how I fare throughout the day.

In the first world, like Poland, there are actually gyms and fitness clubs that are not only associated with residential buildings and anyone can join those!

Are gyms socialized in Poland? In the US, you need to spend money to go to most of them.

You have to spend money here too.

That being said most corporate employers in Warsaw now provide you with vouchers which you can use to get discounts at most gyms etc.

Speaking of which, how expensive are personal trainers in London? I would recommend you to get one, as at least for me it is much harder to skip a training session when I have someone guiding me through it, but London is notoriously expensive so I am not sure.

I know many employers moved against that in US as they were paying all this money for their employees and no one was actually going to the gym. My current company removed that policy for that reason.

As to your later question, I've no idea. I figure that from the outset I shouldn't throw tons of money at this.

At my company you get a membership for free but it's cancelled if you're not going at least 4 times a month.

It's very strict.
