Sounds more like a steel foundry than a gym. Heck, just take a look at the word: WORK-out. No room for fun there.
Or is there? If you want to see how much fun exercise can be, go to a different kind of gym – a jungle gym. There you’ll see kids chasing each other at full speed, swinging, jumping, throwing balls, finding energy they never knew they had. And you’ll never hear them complain about going to the "gym." But they will complain about being called in during lightning storms because they want to keep playing kickball.
What’s the secret? They’re exercising and they don’t even know it. They’re having so much fun, they don’t care. It’s like hidden health.
Imagine having that kind of enthusiasm when you exercise. You can. All it takes is remembering to stay active and to have FUN.
