Picture this…
You check-in your luggage, go through immigration… and… well, you’ve got an hour before your flight boards. You’re already done plenty of shopping and the last thing you’re thinking of is sitting idle for some 50 minutes till the flight boards.
Em, how about checking out the gym at the airport?
OK, you’re not up for a full blown, intense workout… you just feel like, well… maybe doing one or two exercises.
But something happens as you put your hand luggage into that locker and slip into sports wear provided by the airport fitness center…
Feeling of your body moving, blood pumping and your energy levels firing up seems like a good idea. So instead of doing just two exercises, instead you’re there for 30 minutes.
You shower and catch the plain in time. Aah… all that movement actually makes your nap on the plane that much better.
So what you think? Does that sound like something you’d like to try?
I’m certainly up for it – especially that by now I’ve been stuck in the waiting area, ready to board the plane, for more than an hour!
I don’t know what airports you’ve been to… I just wish they had something close to a fitness center down here.
But you know what, I was glad to see an interesting shift in the whole fitness arena down here (Malaysia). What’s that you ask?
Well, I’ve been noticing more fitness centers in the heart of shopping malls.
Now you can pop into the gym… then relax and sip on some fresh juice shake. Doesn’t that make fitness more fun? Kind of mixing the whole window shopping (and dining) along with a good workout.
So… What you think?
