The bikes at this gym seem to be the type used in spinning classes, but ugh, I couldn't do that.

If you email me I'd be happy to give you more details.<br /><br />Kayaking sounds great, especially in the lagoon! We don't typically do those types of things because they are pricey and we're on a really tight budget. Do you think you'll be coming into town at all?

You can rent kayaks just inside the lagoon. I really enjoy it. I've paddled out to the rocks but do not enjoy sea kayaking as much.<br /><br />Where is your gym? I am a gym rat at home but usually just use my bands, my sand filled bleach bottles and run while in Zihuatanejo. My son is a college football player and may need to find a gym to work out if he comes down at Christmas. <br /><br />I am coming back to Barra this Saturday for two weeks. If you get down to Barra, drop me a jingle if you want to go kayaking.

No, seriously, the last few weeks haven't been great -- just going once or twice a week -- but I'm usually a 3-5 times a week kind of gym guy. And it definitely gets harder as you get older to recover. Even after a week or two off, the first few workouts back are, um, excruciating isn't too strong a word. But on the bright side, I'm actually in better shape at 37 than I was at 27.
