Who Needs a Gym?
“Few men believe it, but you don’t need barbells, dumbbells, or machines to build muscle; in fact, weight-training equipment often inhibits the process.

Nice article! Too many people believe that in order to exercise you need to join a gym… not true.
Exercise is everywhere!
“See those kids, potential dumbbells. Now rock me two hundy.” The Z Man

But, to be fair to gyms they do offer something very important, convenience. Most people work during the day making it hard to get exercise in, especially people working in an office or in similar environments, whereby physical activity is not in the job description. The gym does offer a place to exercise when it is cold, dark and rainy outside. Thanks gym.
