Parties on Friday and Saturday meant being rather tired on Sunday. Though a good bike ride would have been just the thing to help us recover, the steady downpour prevented any outdoor activities.
Luckily - a new gym has just opened a few kilometers from here. I signed up back in January and have been eagerly awaiting the April 1st opening - a rainy Sunday was perfect for a workout.
The gym is amazingly nice - a lot of weight machines and a lot of aerobic machines (stationary bikes, treadmills, trekking machines). Each stationary machine comes equipped with an individual flat-screen TV, complete with a headset and a remote control for changing channels and volume - sweeet!
After a hard work out, what could be more relaxing than soaking in a massage bath, or perhaps spending a few minutes in the sauna? Naturally - this gym is fully equipped!
Brian hasn't joined yet - there aren't many free-weights, and the machines are generally too small for Brian. But he is going to come with me on my visitor's pass at least once to check it out for himself before he completely writes it off.

One of the great things about being a gym member is that it can be the destination after a good aerobic workout instead of going home where you know you aren't going to do the weights anyway ;).
It's also nice to vary the routine occassionally. Cruddy weather days or weeks can be a real downer if you have nothing else to do.
