22 DOLLARS AN HOUR FOR THE GYM



Working out doesn't have to be a chore. And sometimes going to the gym feels like just that....which is probably why out of the three months I've had a gym membership here I have gone....three times.

Embarrassing. 
$22 per elliptical sesh.
Maybe I should stick to what I'm good at.
I can think of at least 10 other active activities that I would rather do than an elliptical. 

For example
jumping on beds


hiking
snowboarding
climbing the grand canyon

dancing


swimming

trying not to drown


biking


wheelbarrowing

wake-boarding as a leprechaun

rock-climbing
skydiving
AND

playing

All of which involve a certain amount of exertion, caloric fuel and energy use. See, I know what I'm talking about ;)


I wonder if I can get my money back from the gym?

  1. Could not agree with you more! Canceled my membership a lil over a month ago for the same reason! When and where did you go skydiving? And is the Grand Canyon Photo Photo Shopped?

    1. Haha it does look photo shopped! I actually was just hanging over a like 1 foot drop in the viewing area but my mom got the angle so it looks crazier. And I went skydiving in Lodi, CA about 5 years ago with a couple friends. We were on a budget so we went the cheap route. Never go the cheap route for skydiving!! Our plane looked like it was made from tin foil, one of our tandem jumpers got fired on the spot. And this lady fell out of her harness at the same place!! So scary! http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/woman-80-falls-skydive-harness-mid-jump-survives-16442724?tab=9482931&section=1206833
