Baby steps

I hate exercise. My lifestyle is such that I never get much real exercise and since I left my teens a long way behind I’ve been more into minimal sweating.

I do have a few items of gym equipment though although it took me a while to work out the claims made by the manufacturers is rubbish. Buy this item and in six weeks you will have six pack abs. Here I am ten years later still the same. The Trades Description Acts doesn’t seem to apply to these scammers. A fitness expert I consulted said that it wasn’t owning the item that gave you the six pack it was by using it regularly. Oh! I thought that building the thing up was exercise enough.

Anyway, I did try to use them but I found it really boring. Simply listening to music was not keeping me from getting bored and I found that although I didn’t mind the thirty minutes or on the machine I found it so monotonous that I come to hate it. What I did want was a DVD player. Something that I could watch an episode of something or a film while I exercised.

The latest though is to play games or watch TV on the machines. Better I suppose but not quite what I had in mind. Maybe next time we will have a DVD player until, of course, we get the ultimate system. One that puts you into a dream state which will count towards your nightly quota of sleep and exercises your body all at the same time. If we can then add one of those sleep training machines so we could learn something as well then we would have a winner.
