Seriously. I'm an old parent, so I figure once I get him through college and married off (I forbade him to marry before or after the age of 30 [and the woman has to be exactly 25]) then I will be 66 years old and my days will become pizza, Netflix, and internet porn. I may never see sunlight again, because fuck daytime. Makes a glare on the TV screen.

Also, speaking of the benefits of aging, there was an episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine where Peralta had to observe a dude in a gym, and an old man was on the machine where the cop would have had the best vantage point. Â He politely asked the old man, who wasn't doing shit, to move, and the old man immediately turned the volume up to 10, "Help! Â I'm being intimidated! Â Elder abuse!" and Peralta is like, "Why are you even here? Â You are at a point in your life where it is socially acceptable to ride around on a scooter all day."
I'm looking forward to someday being the giant amorphous blob from Wall-E.

I think I'm slipping back into depression and I need a good, cheap, daily/semi-daily workout I can start to do. I'd prefer not to join a gym or some place I have to drive to, because that just makes it harder for me to go. Plus I'm poor as shit right now.
What do you guys think of running?

I used to run, but cannot. Â Knee issues that I've had for a while with an inflammed synovium.
I like biking, swimming, and weight lifting (thought hard for me to establish a routine). Â I own some free weights, a universal machine, some bikes, and an elliptical (which is a nice change of pace).
Running + used weights are cheapish.

Cheap equipment for $100:
- fitness ball (you can hit pretty much any muscle group you want with isometric or body weight strength training), cost: $20
- jump rope, cost: $10
- decent pair of running shoes, cost: $70
Interesting read for those on a long term budget that always comes up short.

There's a lot of bodyweight stuff you can do, too. Pushups, planks, wall squats, lunges, etc.

I don't know you, so I don't know if it applies, but my personal opinion is that if a person is obese they have no bidness setting foot in a gym until they get their diet unfucked. An unfucked diet is 75% of getting in shape. That happens at home.

QUOTE First things in the morning and I already hate old people. Ugh. Stop looking in the mirror. Oh snap!
YOU oh snap.
We get to the YMCA and I'm steering my old MIL past the check-in desk to get her into her locker room door so she can change for her old lady socialization hour water aerobics. Â This morning there is a desk in the lobby with two other old women sitting at it, a sign saying, "Are you a woman 50-70? then let us tell you about blah blah blah, doesn't fucking matter." Â
1. Â She's 74,
2. She's not going to be buying anything because I control the cash,
3. Â As I said, I'm trying to steer her at least as far as the locker room so she doesn't get distracted and forget why we are there.
So she stops to read the sign, and I say, "Keep going."
She says, "But I'm trying to read this sign."
I say, "I know, keep going." Â
But by now the lady manning the desk, who just heard me tell her to not stop, starts whatever sales pitch she going to give and she now has my MIL's undivided attention. Â This really pissed me off. Â I interrupt and tell that old lady, "Fine. Â She's diabetic so don't give her any candy. Â She has dementia so make sure she gets in the pool on time for her class." Then I continue on to the gym because fuck all old people.
