Question Posted Tuesday December 30 2008, 10:20 pm
I work a 9-5 job and are in the freeway for about 2 hours coming home and don't know what to do to keep in shape. I work in an office and therefore I don't do much exercise. I was thinking of going to the gym but the only two gyms really close to my house are three:
Women's gym : a bit smaller then others but has dancing classes
24 Hours: it gets really full of people in the evenings
LA Fitness: about 5 miles away in the fwy and it has various locations
What would you suggest I do?? I have a treadmill at home but maybey the gym will distract me from the routine (working & going home)
Personally I need to work out in a place that isn't home. I don't like my couch being only a few feet away from me in another room. I want to approach it like a job, that way I know I have to do it everyday, and in the end, that's the key to a succesful program [ TimothyDanger's advice column | Ask TimothyDanger A Question ]

30 minutes-an hour long, depending on the pace of the instructor. But yeah, it's up to you. You can switch from the gym to your home and vice verse.
If you'd like, you can jog around the neighborhood because it can also distract you from your daily routine from work to home since you can change directions from a few places.

but honestly, its totally up to you. its a pretty even split minus the machinery. [ vanity-fairx's advice column | Ask vanity-fairx A Question ]
