I don't like gyms. I really can't see the point of spending hundreds of pounds on a membership you probably won't use, and if you do, why would you want to be stuck indoors on a static bike or treadmill when you can go outside and enjoy the real thing? The BTCV (British Trust for Conservation Volunteers obviously agree and have created the 'Green gym' scheme which is a way of improving your health and the environment at the same time.
During a weekly three hour session you will undertake some form of gardening or environmental conservation work, under the close supervision of a trained leader. It's a great opportunity to get fit while helping out with local projects, such as building community gardens, renewing overgrown railway paths or tree planting, and unlike your local health club, this is totally free! The scheme runs nationwide and you can find details of how to join in here.
