I still need to lose 20 pounds.
And the last thing i want to do is build huge muscles.
But i want to be toned, and strong.
I currently walk everyday, but its not enough. I do have a gym memebership. I dont want to pay a trainer tho. -

Endurance exercise will only get you so far. Most distance runners look feeble. Some even have guts. What you want is strength training. You don't have to get shredded, but take my word for it, it helps. The ideal is to get to a state where your muscle mass energy requirements have reached a homeostasis with the amount of calories you require to feel satisfied. Any less, and you'll lose muscle. Hit that spot, and you can eat as many pop-tart sandwiches as your heart desires.

I was considering going to the gym, but one I don’t think I can afford that $40 a month membership fee, espeically considering… don’t they hurt you with hidden fees? Also, I don’t think I can do stationary exercises. I’ll be too bored and considering all my medical conditions, it probably will be too hard for me. In other words, I have been biking. HOWEVER, that hurts my crotch! I don’t know how to not make it hurt my crotch. And I’m not joking aroun when I say this. It really does hurt.
I also want to take swim classes. I think it would be really good for my medical conditions. And I do want to learn how to swim. Of course, because I don’t have a car… I always walk and take public transportation, so that is exercise within itself. And I have doggies that need walking. -

Well, I have a boy’s bike. At the time, I thought it was a good idea because they’re cheaper and they’re smaller. I’m really short and small. I can’t do an adult bike because they run you like over $100 and they’re so big. My bike was like $40 at Target.
MAYBE, I can revamp the bike and like put a cushion on the seat. I don’t know. But, every time I ride it… I’m walking funny. And it’s not a joke. -

I get really bored with gym workouts too. Im going with a partner hopefully.
I get my membership free so that helps lol.
Are you gonna go get a girls seat for your bike. I know what you mean about the boys bike seat hurting. I cant ride with a mens bike seat. -

I feel bad for boys. Their penises!
My plan was just to put something on the seat, like a cushion or something. Maybe there is a way I can lower the seat and that might help too. But, if I can remove the seat completely and replace it with a new one… I’ll do that. I also want add a little basket in the back or front of the bike, so that I can put stuff, like my medical supplies if I need them. It will be easier than carriying it on my back. My mom said she will think of a way to get a basket on, so we will see if she can do that.
For the time being, it’s not the bike I really can work with. I’m really just riding it around my neighborhood for the exercise. But, I’m hoping to make it a bike that I can use for my transportation means.
How did you get the membership to be free?
