Gym Memberships Are Overrated: How You Can Get In Great Shape Without One
Last week I received an email from a woman who desperately “needed” to lose weight and had only a few weeks to reach her goal. She explained that while she was willing to do whatever it takes, she realized that her situation might be hopeless because she doesn’t have a gym membership.
A gym membership is a prerequisite for getting in shape? Really?
I know this woman is not alone because I’ve heard sentiments like this from many others in the past.
“I’d like to get in shape but I have no time for the gym.”
“If I didn’t hate going to the gym, I’d exercise all the time.”
For some reason going to the gym has become synonymous with fitness. I’d like to offer a few reasons why this notion is far from reality.
