GymsGetting fit should come with a health warning, warns PJM. "In my pursuit of the body beautiful, I've broken three exercise bikes and two running machines, concussed myself and, most distressingly, bruised my testicles." And he's yet to try and get out of his contract...

In my Chinese gym* men often exercised with their shirt pulled up exposing their (usually large and sagging) guts ... treadmill, weights, bikes, whatever, "tummy out" was the acceptable norm.
* i got eyed up in the shower one time and told i was "very big" ... er, cheers, mr gym instructor fella.
* the weights were never in any order on the stacks. you'd hunt for ages for a specific dumbbell. when i asked why they didnt have a system with labels and order, etc, they just said "oh we're used to it this way".
* the toilets were rank. the showers pretty disgusting too. waiting til i got home was a very good idea.
and really, that pretty much sums up china. (and my gym experiences there - met some nice ppl i guess).
