well what gets me is that my DH is more than happy to be a gym rat. He'll go in there, put in his 45 minutes on the elliptical, lift some weights and be happy.
I hate the gym. I only go when necessary and would much rather be out enjoying the day! I've been going nuts today sitting here at work wishing I was out on my bike on this sunny day!! If I had to work out at the gym everyday, I probably wouldn't be fit either. If I'm outside, it's less about exercise and more about just playing outside.

My hubby will quite happily sit on the bikes at a gym, but for some reason refuses to get a bike. I've gone to the gym with him a few times but, frankly, I was bored out of my skull. Sitting on a bike in the gym, going nowhere, no nice scenery, nothing. Definitely not for me. Hubby had a major heart attack 3 years ago and did say he was scared he'd have another heart attack in the middle of nowhere if he went cycling. I said that can happen to absolutely anyone, anywhere, so why worry about something that may or may not happen. He is overweight which he really shouldn't be and I think if he took up cycling he'd lose weight quite quickly and steadily. I said to him that you're not pedalling all the time so cycling can be paced to what you feel comfortable with. I have suggested he might try an electric bike - pedal on the flat and slight gradients and if it gets too much, switch over to electric. I'm working on him and if I know him, eventually, he'll catch the cycling bug from me and get a bike
