Fancy gyms aren't always best – here's why
May 8, 2018 by Ewa M Roos, The Conversation
 

If you want to get stronger and feel better after exercising – which is important because it encourages you to keep exercising – you don't need a fancy gym, our recent study shows.

Earlier studies have shown that a pleasant hospital environment, with large windows that look out over nature, can speed a patient's recovery, so we were interested to know if the same was true for treatment rooms.

For our study, we randomly assigned two groups of people, aged 35 or older, and with hip or knee pain, to one of two treatment rooms for exercise therapy.

This is the type of stuff that poor people tell themselves to make themselves feel better.

No reason we want to talk about in a public forum, not even this one...

I know. Open southern borders is a hot button issue here.

Now, they even have some full-massage machines, I saw one. I even stood on it momentarily. I'll have to meet someone who really knows how they work. It seemed a bit too intensive for me.

Those aren't massage machines.  They supposedly increase the g-forces on the body thereby increasing the effectiveness of whatever exercise you are doing while on them.

Well who doesn't?

I know I know, but it's nice to thank the little people now and again; makes them feel good and think you're also thinking about them all the time.

I saw this chick doing pushups at the gym yesterday.   I thought of you.   She looked mean but kinda hot.

She looked mean but kinda hot.

That seems to sum her up.

If she was using one of the gym attendants to make it an inclined pushup it was me.

I was the gym attendant. Actually I'm not an attendant. I lurk around the gym in a uniform I stole.

Well then, thank you for helping me with my workout yesterday.

BTW, how do you think one of the vibrating platforms would be as an office chair?
