Classic Rock   10 #1 Posted April 29, 2003 I really really don't want to join a gym. I wouldn't have time to go and couldn't commit to the treadmill several times a week.  I wouldn't mind doing the odd aerobics class. Does anyone know of anywhere around the city centre (pref. the Ecclesall Rd side of town) which offers just aerobics without a huge membership fee?  Alternatively, can anyone suggest an alternative fitness method that doesn't require a huge financial outlay up front eg membership fees or the purchase of pricey equipment?

steelblade   10 #2 Posted April 29, 2003 Get yourself some walking boots and go walking, it's free, easy and a very pleasant way to get fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mikey   10 #4 Posted April 29, 2003 Power Walking is the craze its better than jogging as it doesnt jolt your joints as much.  Anything that gets your heart beating is good for the cardio system and will burn a few calories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jess   10 #5 Posted April 29, 2003 I'm not really the person to advise, being built more for comfort rather than speed, but try swimming. It is supposed to be the best all round exercise you can get, with no high impact stuff to worry about. I must say walking sounds more tempting though.

andyb   10 #7 Posted April 30, 2003 Ever thought about Martial Arts as a way to fitness?  I teach Traditional Karate in the City Centre near to the Forum.  Monday and Wednesday 7.00-8.30pm, thake a look at our website www.hallamdojo.co.uk for more details.  You can have fun, gain confidence, co-ordination and get fit into the bargain.  andyb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Classic Rock   10 #8 Posted April 30, 2003 Karate - yike! I did this for about two years, and a nastily sprained ankle and a broken nose later, I decided it wasn't for me.  Walking - not a bad idea, I do a fair bit of this anyway.  Any more ideas?
