Comment on Say No to Gyms, Save Money, and Unlock Your Life by nomoregyms

I personally hate wasting time with machines and gadgets gyms use to “get you into shape” when in reality very few workout machines enable you to burn large amounts of calories quickly while at the same time providing a strength workout to a group of muscles. On top of that, I have been to gyms to do not have fundamental items like pullup bars which is the best upper body exercise you can perform.
Creating my own workouts from a few simple tools like kettlebells and medicine balls, in conjunction with bodyweight exercises, allows me get a complete workout in 15 to 30 minutes tops. In the time it takes you to drive to the gym I am done with my workout. I would rather spend my time saved from a more efficient regimen with my friends, family, and personal interests.

I totally agree with James…plus i would rather spend 40 bucks a month on a gym membership and have access to a great community of people than 40 bucks a week drinking beer at a bar because there is nothing much else to do on the cold winter evenings after going insane from staring at the same white apartment walls.

I personally do not do many static movements. Although good for strength training, I prefer exercises that require movement and are more efficient in burning calories and improving the cardiovascular system. In my opinion the most effective workouts are the most efficient which are compound body movements that significantly increase heart rate.

the Y is non profit, isn’t it? My home (1 br apartment) doesn’t have a sauna or steam bath for after workout relaxing – that’s why I pay my membership fee..

Great video. . . Do you suggest more static movements or a mixing of both?

Good workout! I like the way you keep the intensity level up. It’s not just a bit of work, then a bit of rest; instead it’s a true, full-body workout with conditioning thrown in as a bonus.

I agree 100%. True fitness is not something that can be bought and sold. The best workouts are the ones that don’t require any equipment and can be done anywhere. Boycott the big gyms!

Great post. I agree with all your points. Only the misinformed go to these gyms – dreadful, dreadful places.

Surely people can’t really believe that the treadmills, the machines and the limited weight training opportunities at commercial gyms are actually FUN, can they? (and what have they truly done for people?). People who seek ability, transcendence and empowerment train differently, but these techniques are not reserved for some secret society of athletes. Shame people are taken in by the ‘Offers’ at the corporate gym and the ‘offers’ is where the training ends. They are a complete waste of money and time.

I train outside whenever when I want to, with limited equipment and get a workout that is ten times more effective.

The truth is no type of food is going to give you 6-pack abs. For your diet the ratio and quantity of fats, carbs, and protein you ingest daily is most important. While exactly what you eat to get into shape can be disputed, the results will not. Luckily some things are universal within diet-land. It is pretty much generally accepted that eating more frequent, smaller meals with your diet will aid with weight loss as well as eating a proper proportion.

Six Pack Abs Diet — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:02:16 +0000

This is some helpful info, thanks. At the moment I’m really focused on getting shredded six pack abs. It’s my personal objective these days. I’ve been told that egg whites, oatmeal, salmon, blueberries and broccoli are all important to incorporate into my diet. Are there any other foods I should consider working into my diet?
