I just wanted to ask why you aren't a gym person? I recently joined and gym and it's been a great experience--nobody bugs me, I can mind my own business and do my own thing, you can't find better facilities than in a professional gym...I think you should re-evaluate your seriousness about exercise if you are going to rely on a video game system!
I agree. Nothing can replace a gym.
But there are some drawbacks:
a) Rarely are they open 24 hours. If you find one that is 24 hours, it is probably clear on the other side of town.
b) Sausage fest in the locker room
c) You have to drive there, which may take time and hassle if you're busy with other stuff.
d) Wait for equipment if the gym is packed.
e) You have to use your MP3/Ipod, and hope that your headphone cord doesn't get caught up by your flailing arms/legs, catapulting the iPod across the room, for everyone to laugh at. Or you fall on the treadmill while trying to catch the iPod that you dropped.
Oh, that's assuming that the batteries in your iPod haven't run out. Gotta laptop, AC power outlet, and 8 hours to spare in the gym? Ok, for a cheap MP3 player, you may need to bring extra batteries. So you'll have to run back to the locker room, at least.
