"So my gym membership expires this week and I don't want to renew because if I am honest although I went regularly I didn't enjoy it. My question is this... What can I replace the gym with to ensure I maintain my exercise regime at least 3 times a week... And hopefully something not quite as expensive as a gym. I want, if possible, something different but high impact, maybe I'm not going to get something but would really appreciate some ideas Thanks all x" Quick answer is rampant sex. Serious answer, are there any bootcamps? | |||

"Do a internet search of all gym classes in your area. Circuit training, HIIT, boxercise, yoga, kettlebells, spinning, martial arts or whatever. Try them all out and see which ones you enjoy and which ones are effective. If you want to train at home too just get a exercise mat and a kettlebell. There’s tons of free training videos on YouTube that you can train along with. Make a plan and stick to it. Good luck! " This is what I am trying to do.. I stuck with the gym although I didn't enjoy it but I want to find something I will enjoy | |||

"Try jogging or power walking, great for cardio and stamina. Headphones on with motivational music helps Also, you could set yourself a daily wake up routine of 20 press ups or sit ups, there’s plenty of phone apps for home fitness.

"Can you cycle to work? Not at the moment I work 23 miles from home! " Do it in small stages until you can do it in one? Halfway by bus cycle the rest etc. I started doing it I work 35 miles from home and have to conquer saddleworth moor, took some doing but save both on fuel and gym membership now. Only do it two days a week it’s more than enough though!!!! You can adjust your HIT as you like. | |||

I go every other day in my way home from work and a Sunday morning. The members are all ages up to 70’s and the equipment can be tailored to suit your abilities.I’m the laziest person but I manage to do that and have been for nearly two years.
