Day 82 - training in the gym

I've been doing about 70% of my PCP training at the gym... Because my gym is in the same building complex as work... And it just works out better to have a brief run into the gym in the morning... Do my PCP workout and go dingo the office fresh first thing.. And even though they are cheap , relative to Tokyo taxis, I do not like taxis in HK.. 50% of the time they're just plain rude and the other... Well I've just found it makes for a less pleasant start to the morning than a 4km run...

So feed back form observations at the gym...
- there are a bunch of regulars at the time I hit the place and some a shredded/cut... Some are not so... Most working pretty hard and sweating away.... Chatting to some, which is a new thing for me... I use to just go into the gym do my session and leave... Now I'm having chats with other people training and some of the trainers...anyway some of the shredded have been on programs PCP or other ones... And the result is .... If it didn't have a change in diet portion to the program... The training portion had less impact... One guy who is actually a work collegue as well, who's been through training/eating habit programs... And who is pretty shredded...Has said... Once you've gone through the programs and integrate back... When you go out with friends and collegues ... You will start to see yourself thinking... I can believe I ate that sh@t before ...
- for the not shredded... Some have personal trainers and are training real hard but not getting the same effect... Despite dropping lots o' coin.
- then there are the ones... Who go into the gym change into their fashionable lulu lemon attire ... Jump on the treadmill/stationary bike ... Open a book/magazine and start peddling at a modest pace and hog the machine for 45min plus...now lulu lemon makes great stuff for
training... But if your going to drop the coin... Shouldnt you actually train... Then they go onto the stretch mats and chat to a friend taking up space doing nothing... Sorry for the rant... But there otta be a sign..."go hard or go home!!!" hey I'm paying money to go to the gym to train...
- any way the results of my observations would be... Training/diet combo works... Going to the gym training hard no change to eating habits don't... Maintaining after will involve.. Both maintaining some level of training (an active lifestyle) and embedding the eating habits we learned in the program.

Ten days and a wakeup to go...minna-San Ganbare!
