That's my problem, I haaaaate it Namely because the cardio machines are so boring I used to have a machine at home And I could watch PMMM and exercise at the same time But even I am not shameless enough to use the gym wifi for that I think, if only I learned to love working out it would be so much better It's only tolerable now because of the cute girl who works the front desk

Reaching speeds in excess of 100km/h downhill and fighting my way up brutal hills while surrounded by beautiful nature is never boring. I could not do cardio on any of the torture machines for longer than 15 minutes, I'd die of boredom.

I totally watched Death Note and East of Eden on my phone at the gym. If I hadn't been bingeing PMMM at home trying to finish a baby blanket on a deadline, I would've watched that there too.

Nothing makes a hour on the elliptical machine sail by quite like Orange is the New Black. I've caught up with so many series that way! I also highly recommend HBO Go. I burned a shitload of calories with the first season of True Detective. Skip the second one though. It's disappointing no matter where you watch it.

I watched Deadman Wonderland (note: the hulu version is terrible quality, way too dark, can't see anything half the time) and the early episodes of Hunter x Hunter and some others at the gym. I find it a bit uncomfortable. There's too many people at the gym, almost twice as many eyes, and every one of them is judging. Also don't like watching on my phone, it's too small. But bringing a tablet is an invitation for maximum overjudgment. I know, it's not true and I'm not supposed to care if it is.

At least not for what you're watching... I feel you on the tablet, though. I was using husbands for a while, but after a graphic sex scene or two courtesy of HBO and those other premium content providers I had to switch back to my phone. I can't be the porn girl at the gym.

I've caught up with so many series that way! Nah, the only two episodes I like are TWD and Game Of Thrones and I'm all caught up. And if a new episode pops up I want to see it first in my cozy chair while eating chips, drinking wheat beer, having the remote secure in my off hand and either a sword or a rifle in my right hand - depending on which series I'm watching. Watching it while crushing my soul and body on a torture device kind of spoils the fun.

It felt awesome. 4 more kilograms and I can do bodyweight. Lol I'm a heavy man!

I am leaving for boot camp very soon, but I need to gain some weight. I bought the protein powder, but it tastes like crap. Any tips on making it taste better?

I never took supplements in my entire life, in my opinion you only need it if you take steroids and your step into the unnatural territory - to make unnatural progress you need an unnatural diet. To answer the question, if you have problems with the taste ignore it, the correct dosage is so small you can throw that crap into your mouth and down it with a glass water. Done. Also, if you have problems with the taste of protein powder the military food is gonna make you wish you weren't born. Good luck.

I am taking it also because I have about 2 weeks to do a mile in 8:30, 17 push ups, and 20 sit ups. Doesn't seem like much, but if you haven't worked out in awhile it is.

I work out 6 days a week and I'm not entirely sure I could do an 8:30 mile. I almost never run, though, and if I do, I try to just pace myself for 40-60 minutes after an hour in at 11-12 minutes a mile. It's pretty sad, but I have other strengths. Anyway the point of that was, you'll do great, you're probably waaaay more prepared than I would be. Good luck. You're awesome!

I just had to break my mental locks.

Knees, Muscles or Lungs?
