It is one option.

I think that more progress would be made if people would get out of the normal commercial gym. I'm not talking about the hardcore gyms, I'm talking cardio bunny heaven. Aside from the fact that the equipment probably isn't doing you any good, the knowledge level in such places is low. Well, that is being nice. you won't be reading any books from a trainer that works at Bally's any time soon... well, possibly if it is about hair care or the dangers of spandex chafing.

Getting out of the gym would force most people to think, explore, quit being a sheep. I almost have faith that outside of the gym environment most people would stumble upon real training, or would blow up into a 400lb pizza eating nightmare. Either way they would be throwing their heart and soul into something! That would be an improvement over that dead behind the eyes zombie workout that most people are doing.
