Results of a recent survey of 2000 people that go to gyms in the UK show that about a third don't even break a sweat.
Some of the main reasons found were.....
1) Spend more time relaxing in the sauna than exercising
2) Spend the time talking or reading
3) Not sure about how to use the equipment properly
4) Self conscious and embarrassed if they do sweat
...and for women...
5) Ruining their make-up and/or hair
If you are in this category then follow some basic advice. Gyms and cross training can play a valuable role in improving a runners times, especially in the strengthening of the core muscles and overall stability. If you are a member of a gym then know exactly what you are trying to achieve and ask one of the instructors for advice. If the staff aren't trained properly then find someplace else.
