Fall in vondel park amsterdam

On my way to the Imigration buro in Amsterdam i had time to spare so i took a walk troug "Vondel Park" in Amsterdam. Fall is coming very quickly now u can see all the leaves turning from green to golden brown. The wind in the morning is getting ice cold as well. Still there where alot of people out and about, running walking their dogs and cycling. No skaters like in summer... summer.. It has been a very long time that i've been here in summer with friends just skating having ice cream and shooting off our water guns to innoscent bystanders haha so much fun.

5 weeks in: Sibling Rivalry workout

Ok so how to motivate yourself in going to the gym and work out. Back in my 20's i just had to much time to spare. I worked in the centre of Amsterdam, after work i had the same ritual: work out in the Gym at the Rokin and the go out to eat at the Chinese on the Zeedijk. When u are young u actually don't have to work very hard cause in my case there was no excess weight to loose actually only to gain.. Now when u get older u try to find the right combination of loosing weight and growing muscle.
A personal trainer is a very good alternative especially if u have a goal and your PT is actually a very good friend but also an insaine english Rugby player. He can drive u crazy with his slave programm but i have to say it works, but very expensive and u actually have to have alot of self discipline cause its one day with the PT and the rest u do yourself.
So whats the best thing to do if your not happy with your body or u just want to tone it a litlle bit more? Here's my solution: take a sibling, in my case my 12 year younger brother who is just huge cause he works in construction. Take him with u to the gym and try to compete. I have to say it is the best work out ever. And i helps beating him at arm wrestling he was so not amused!!! Hey i guess boys will be boys...
