And clearly I don't have to tell you about the benefits of gravity boots and a pull up bar :wink:

I have tried the "Insanity" workout a few times, but I could never progress past the sixth week. I believe isometric exercises featured in all of the workouts I attempted.

I am reluctant to workout at home again as I know from past experience that it will be a short-lived effort to get into shape. One of my greatest talents in life is not being able to see things through.

I may go and visit the gym in question either today or tomorrow.

Even though more cost is involved ( added social anxiety as well ) you should see how much a personal trainer costs unless of course that sounds like hell

The gym's membership package with the inclusion of a personal trainer is £24.99 each month. Unfortunately this is currently too much for me as I have been claiming PIP and ESA since resigning from my last job in March.

That's sounds quite reasonable although impossible on PIP & ESA , Have you looked into seeing if the NHS provides any services that you could benefit from. Also some gyms provide free one-day gym passes so you could potentially go from gym to gym just using this option.

Whilst I am aware that the majority of gyms offer free one-day passes, I would prefer to find a gym that I could revisit on at least a weekly basis.

I am reluctant to ask my GP about possible exemptions as I already feel like a complete free-loader. To be brutally honest, I am unconvinced I should be eligible for both ESA and PIP. The government shouldn't be giving me money for being lazy and socially inept.

Even though I am grateful for having a roof over my head, I might feel more motivated to find and stay in a job if my mother evicted me.

Oddnumberedcat,

One day, after I'd been home from work a couple of hours, I saw I had left my cellphone at work. Thankfully, it was found.

Your screen name is interesting. Do you have cats?

Our cat seems to have several names now. Her full name is Booka, but mum calls her Booka-book, Ian calls her the rascal cat, and I call her Boo or Boo-chan.

Believe me Jake if you weren't eligible for ESA & PIP you wouldn't get it.

I haven't had good long term luck with being left alone, but otherwise I agree. I enjoyed thinking that I had solitude as a way out, but I think I proved that wrong recently. My mental health has improved since I started encouraging people to trouble me more, and I keep learning to love them more for doing so.

As to the rest, how much misinterpretation do I tolerate and try to address before I have to start assuming that they're doing it deliberately?

I still feel rather guilty that I have to rely on benefits to get by in life. Though I cannot profess to be particularly well-educated, I never expected to have so much difficulty finding and staying in employment since leaving school nine years ago.

I've now visited the gym but it seems unrealistic for me to join at this juncture as I would have to pay over £25 each week on travel expenses on top of the £16.99/£19.99 membership fee. Furthermore, the personal trainer stated that I would need to eat approximately a gram of protein per lb of my body weight to build muscle. 8O In my case, that would be around 150 grams each day.

I guess I will have to either move to the city where the gym is located or wait until I have found a job before joining. I could have a long wait on my hands.... :(

Don't feel guilty , we live in a country where we pay taxes to fund the less fortunate than ourselves , I've had jobs where they've taxed me £300 a week but if I wasn't currently on benefits I'd be living on the streets. Sorry to hear about the gym being a non starter , maybe your new meds will give you some motivation to workout at home - you never know :D

The market is cleared up. Now, it's less stuffy and more crowded yet with wider range of access. :lol:


And ah, soon... :twisted:

There is this song that reminds me of my former friend who hurt me really badly. So why can't I stop listening to it?

^Would listening to all Doctor Who themes at once help?
