The Earth Is My Treadmill

Am I in great physical shape? Absolutely. Do I go to a gym? Absolutely not. The Earth is my gym. Spending an hour or two inside of a stuffy and sweaty gym may sound like a great way to get into shape, and for many people it is, however nothing compares to plodding along, one foot in front of another on some good ole' Earth. Brisk air filling your lungs, sun shining down on your face, the breezes blowing through your workout clothes. No better feeling then a long brisk run at 7am through city streets and park trails. No better feeling than 400 push-ups and 1000 sit-ups on a park bench. No better feeling then knowing you don't pay $100 a month to hang out inside a cootie infested gym. If you go to a gym, that's fine, but getting outside for exercise every now and again is a great change of pace.
