I'm in NY and I do it all year round. Just add a few layers as it gets colder. See if you can find a bar to do pullups along with all your other exercises and enjoy the "fresh" air.

]]> Comment on Perspective From The Pool by iKoniConSciencE http://blog.bodybuilding.com/GymMouse45/2009/07/04/perspective-from-the-pool/#comment-10596771 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:00:53 +0000 http://blog.bodybuilding.com/GymMouse45/2009/07/04/perspective-from-the-pool/#comment-10596771 Oh man, vacation destinations sure are a reality check for us fit folks, no?! I was staying at a resort in St Augustine Beach and found the fitness center to be highly vacant. Great, more for me... some people passed by and stared at me through the windows... one of them even came inside and asked me, "I always see you working out. Do you ever stop?" I told her about my bodybuilding contest prep and she said, "I wish I could do that. That's so fascinating!" She appeared to be in her 50s. I told her it's never too late to try, sat down with her, and gave her the contest prep cliffs notes. I hope she took it to heart and would love to see her on stage. I always looked out the window and observed those lounging at the pool and those walking by... and I noticed that almost all of em were either fat, skinny-fat, or rail thin. No muscle. It sort of surprised me and then reminded me that even IF the average person downplays the accomplishments we've made /fails to acknowledge all the HARD WORK that goes into being "buff" (mostly because they have no idea how much we put into it), WE are an elite part of the population. :) Oh man, vacation destinations sure are a reality check for us fit folks, no?!

One reason that I'm less concerned with joining a gym is that I am achieving a trim athletic body. I am muscular, but not bodybuilding big. Interestingly enough, we saw how fast President Bush is when he ducked the shoe. I don't know how true it is, but I read he runs a near 5 minute mile. Welcome to my humble bodygroup, sir!
