The Pretend Fitness Thread

I’m only going juicing in the off season, guys.

Can someone tell me whether or not this already exists before I go making a fool of myself on Dragons Den?

I presume it does. It certainly does for running machines. Think they have it in @croppy_boy 's gym.

It does. They have it in some spinning centres anyways and I think you can buy them for home too

Yes it does. I bought a turbo trainer a few years ago and there were loads of offers for some package along with it. Can’t remember the name, some synonym for hard or difficult or hurt or something. I bought the box set for Breaking Bad instead.

@Nembo, you won’t get fit on an exercise bike unless you are ridiculously disciplined which you clearly are not. Just go for a run a few times a week and do a bit of strength work at home like planks, press ups pull ups, lunges to build up the legs or whatever you’re having yourself.

Should I buy an exercise bike or a spinning bike?

Listen to @caulifloweredneanderthal’s good advice and buy a proper bike and a turbo trainer if you are determined to cycle indoors.

Should I buy a spinning bike or an exercise bike?

Sounds shit. Fuck cycling.

They did when I lived in Dublin.

Not anymore.

It does

What’s a spinning bike? One with tiny gears for girls??

For turbo training there is a package called Sufferfest and this gives different scenarios. And the whole stage recreation is also out there, saw it advertised I’m sure during the Tour de France.

You can buy a mock road bike hooked up onto a monitor and do vertical races too. But I’m sure an astute bloke such as yourself could bring the idea to the next level

The N69 from Mungret to Ballylongford with a sprint in Askeaton and a king of the mountains after Glin? I’d buy it.

Buy a mans road bike and get out on the actual road with it - the fresh air will do wonders for that chip you carry around on your shoulder

How horrible\ disgusting\unhygienic are public swimming pools? I’ve been offered a great deal to join a gym with pool/sauna etc etc - my current gym is a meat head gym but has some good equipment but no pool — I wouldn’t mind doing some swimming but the oceans are full of shit, piss and toxic waste - will I get leprosy from a public pool? who here uses them here. @Mac ?

I use a private pool, mate
