Does this strike a chord with you? Then how about taking up a new sport to compliment the work
you do down the gym? How about playing golf once or twice a week?

One of the major plus points of playing golf is that it’s a sport you can start at any age. All you need
is to borrow, buy or hire a set of clubs and then head to your local course or driving range. Through
practise, perseverance and dedication your game is bound to keep on leaps and bounds in a short
period time and you could soon be looking in the possibility of taking UK golf breaks or playing Algarve golf in sun-drenched Portugal.

Golf is great for your core muscles, hand-eye coordination and improving stamina as you pound the
fairways and greens for hours on end. On average, 18-hole courses can easily be over three miles
(nearly 5km) long so you’ll quickly clock up the miles providing you walk and shun the luxury of a golf
buggy. Hours of walking should ensure your calf and thigh muscles are toned and being outdoors for
a considerable length of time has more obvious health benefits. Swinging and putting will improve
upper body strength providing you adopt the right stance, so it may be worth taking a few lessons
from a pro if you’re an absolute novice.

If you need to take a break from the gym then why not try golf?

1. The Cateye Gamebike
Basically a spin cycle with a video game attached, the Gamebike allows you to play racing games with the cycle in lieu of a controller. While the idea may not sound too innovative, priced at only $2,000 (which will be sure to drop over the next few years), the Gamebike is a very realistic alternative that, if proven successful, will usher in a whole new era of videogame exercise equipment. Not only will it give you something to watch at the gym besides the sweat trickle down a middle aged man’s back as he slaves away on the treadmill in front of yours, but is compatible with Xbox and Playstation, giving it the potential to be shaving inches off gamers’ beer guts in their homes all over the country.

2. The M6 Rock Wall
You can now get the physique of Sylvester Stallone in “Cliffhanger” without risking your life on a real mountain or even worse, your dignity, climbing the rock walls at your local gym. Essentially a vertical treadmill with rocks attached to it, the M6 is also programmable, allowing you to set goals like a height of a mountain, so you can at least feel like you’re getting closer to your real goal, which should be to look like Sylvester Stallone.

3. Sensa
No, not Sensei. Sensa will help you get a cut physique without having to take diet pills, or god forbid, do enough cardio to get your body fat down that low. Sensa, a weight loss spray, is an odorless admixture that was developed by a neurologist after 25 years of research. All you have to do is spray it on your food, and it will fool your brain into feeling satiated. In clinical studies, people lost an average of 30 pounds over a period of 6 months. Now the only problem is to make sure you don’t become anorexic with it.

4. Virtual Gyms
Perhaps the most revolutionary of all of these ideas, the idea of virtual gyms may be showing signs of a viable alternative to the hassle of real ones. A recent study that followed two groups of women, all of whom were considered obese, in an attempt to find out if going to an “online” gym would be more effective than the real thing. The study, which lasted 12 weeks, split the women into two groups, one that attended weekly sessions at their local gym, and the other that participated in an online version via the game “Second Life.” Both groups learned about the same things (how to exercise, eat right, etc.), and both groups even lost the same amount of weight (roughly 10 lbs.) after the test period. However, the virtual group scored much higher on tests after that assessed their retention of values and ideas of maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
