Is gym a man’s game?

An interesting thing occurred to me the other day, is a gym workout better tolerated by men?

Two females (not the largest sample size to gain great insight on the matter, I know) that I have spoken to find that the treadmill running and the repetitive up and down of machine and weights workout is boring.

So is this a sex thing? Are men more inclined to persist with the routine of a weights workout day in day out? Do women require a more vibrant exercise regime?

Does this mean that men have a simpler process that runs through the mind? Are we simpler beasts?

I guess, if you speak to the right people, this is definitely the case. Men - simple, women - complicated.

So, if you’re thinking of joining a gym, and your female. Stop and have a look at the facilities. If a weights set and treadmill are all they have perhaps you won’t get the most out of your membership. You’re better off finding a gym that offers group fitness classes or getting out and jogging in the real world.

If you’re thinking about joining a gym and your male. You really have no worry, you’ll be happy pushing weights or jogging in one spot for half an hour.

I’d love to hear any responses to what you think about the matter.
