The gym is for people to bodybuild and sculpt, not lose weight, its not convenient and no fun going in the winter. You'll procrastinate and eventually quit. Why go to the gym? Walk stairs, get off your butt at work and walk a flight of stairs 4-5 times in a row, twice a day. I go outside to the parking garage. Inside when its too hot or cold. Walk around your neighborhood, just 20 MINUTES until you can walk at a brisk pace and then walk more. Try to get to 40 minutes tops. by some cheap dumbells and do some arm exercises while you watch tv, stand up. The key is consistency, you MUST do it 4-5 times a week.

Time to come clean, Jimmy. Rumor has it that you got into shape not by running, but by doing Jazzercise.
