    And then there are those of us who don't have a car.

    But whatever. I exercise on my own without a gym and I don't care what anyone thinks of that.

    There is that. I don't have a car, but there is a "aquatic and fitness center" 1.5 miles away from me. The membership is $37/month and it goes to the city Parks and Rec, so it's a good investment (plus, you can use the gym, pool, and take all the classes for no extra charges!). I walk there. I walk there to go swimming. I walk there to go to Zumba. If I'm extra sore, I'll take the bus there and walk home, or vice versa. I HAVE to walk there on Sundays, because there's no bus, or if I'm there in the evenings after the bus route has ended.

    There was a kids' swimming class while I was there today. After I finished, one of the mothers approached me and said she was impressed by how many laps I had done (10). I was telling her how I'm trying to build up to being able to swim a mile no problem again, and she said "well, it's better than I do. All I've done is fold towels." I told her she should hop in sometime, that's it's a lot of fun. She just stared at me. You're already at the gym. Your kid is in a class. Why not do something while you're already there?! /rant

    Edit: I'm so not judging, was just saying that there are those of us who have gyms within walking distance, and who can't really make excuses. Especially people who are already there. So please don't read my response as negative. I was going to post it anyway, just quoted yours because you said you also don't have a car :flowerforyou:
