I find your pool privilege problematic and triggering.

Unless you do cardio for real training/fun, it's a better use of your time learning how to actually feed yourself.

I've built 1.5 miles of cross country trails. It's a great run and a fantastic workout.

I ride bicycles, and not your pussy run of the mill bicycle. I ride an 80s STEEL frame bicycle with a FIXED gear. Your pussy rear end wants to COAST?! Not on a fixed gear. It's a wild buckin' bronco of pure ride adrenaline. You want brakes?! gently caress BRAKES! You stop by pedaling backwards forcing the wheel to skid. Who gives a gently caress about stopping when you're ripping through traffic on a steel horse of loving pure sex appeal. Nobody, that's who. gently caress YOU!

Not as much as rowing on the water though

But falling in sucks because getting back on the shell is a pain in the rear end

Good for hosed knees. I know from experience.

Turn the resistance way up and try to tell me that ain't a workout.

If you want to yell at someone, yell at the people at the gym on recumbent bikes, slowly pedaling forever on low resistance, reading a book or magazine. Come on! Why are you even paying for this?!

My guess is that it doesn't.

There's no such thing as an effective 5 minute total body workout. People who order from skymall are dumb

I bought a $50 bike stand trainer thing that turns your bike into an exercise bike and it's pretty great

I think eliptical machines are p. baller. I'm always right, so eliptical machines are indeed confirmed for being pretty baller. A running and swimming is fine too.

i used to do legs and arms on the same day and warmed up on the elliptical for 5 mins because it does both legs and arms

but yeah there are a lot of soccer moms at my gym who go on them to bitch about "omg did you see what karen was wearing today i heard her kid is fat" for like 2 seconds and then talk by the lockers for an hour to justify the subscription

Peep this tiny, lovely video and helpful website. QuickGym

Looks like a weird stair stepper and a weird rowing machine stuck together. Oh, and it's $15,000.

That Strogg component appears to be resisting it's implants. No wonder they had to remove both the arms and legs from the subjects to ensure success during pre-installation.

Ellipticals mess up my lower back for some reason. Standard running around does not. Don't know why that is.

it makes your muscles develop imbalanced since your not supposed to be able to exert yourself like that without shocks to your joints. after using it for like a year i had nice leg muscles that sometimes had to great strength and range for my knees, which hadn't developed the shock resistance they were supposed to have naturally. you probably had too developed of glutes for your hip connectors or piriformis or something.

Thanks, that's a pretty good explanation. Cheers (clinks my beverage glass to the screen to your post).
