Exercising at the Gym

Today was another rainy day, I carried my umbrella to the mailbox, mailed a letter and picked up the bills. I walked around the parking lot and went inside for awhile then decided to go to the gym to walk the treadmill and ride the stationary bike. I walked and rode about an hour before heading back to my apartment. I’d much rather walk outside but at least I had somewhat of a workout. The rain hardly let up all day. But now it’s time for bed. I hope all my friends sleep well tonight in your corner of Myllot land.

Been ages since I don't go to the gym. But since days are getting warmer, I think I would just go jog outside.

I'd much rather walk outside if the weathers not too bad. The weather is warming up nicely. It's almost spring.

@RubyHawk Me too! Because the weather here now is unpredictable, so I skip outside. Just yesterday, the sun rise and suddenly rain at afternoon during the sun.

It's good you got your workout in . . . better to exercise indoors in the comfort of warmth and dryness! I know, nothing beats the outdoors . . . but this is temporary . Hope you got a good night's sleep!

That's true nothing beats the outside, I think the worst weather we'll have now is rain. Spring is almost here.

Sometimes when i don't get out to the gym I walk in my apartment. It's not the best, but It's a way to get the steps in.

I’ll use ours when the temperature gets high this summer. I haven’t used it as much this winter. I’ve considered it, then get out my coat and scarf for my walk.

Neither would I if it's was crowded. This is a small gym for the use of the apartment complex and very few people go there, including myself, I'd much rather walk outside if the weathers not too bad .
