I love my gym time. I’m a bit of a gym rat. Four days a week I need to be in there lifting. But I do think it’s kind of funny that so many people pay for gym membership just to run on a treadmill. I mean really, what does a treadmill offer you that you can’t get from running outside? Fresh air? Nope. Varied terrain? Nope. Nature’s beauty? Nope. You can go ahead and run on your treadmills and your ellipticals, but when you’re done, where has it taken you? Absolutely no where.
Treadmills have their place, and I’m not knocking the results one can achieve on a machine. But if you’re not mixing your cardio with weight training, and if the time of day and the weather permits, then ditch the machine and get outside. I’ve discovered that it’s not only more enjoyable and better for my health, but I also run further, harder, and get better results. And you don’t have to pay an access fee to run outside.
For the month of October I will be updating the comic strips SIX days a week! That means you’ll have a new comic strip every Monday-Saturday! If you like the comic strips and enjoy reading them on a daily basis I would encourage you to make a donation to the website in addition to visiting the site frequently. Believe it or not, it really helps!
