We just went through the painful-on-the-pocketbook renewal of our fees for our gym/club this past month. As I was running on the beach the other day (and -cough- NOT on the treadmill at the club... which I never do by the way, only run on the lagoa or at the beach. Which begs the question as to why we belong but really it is mostly to take the Canadoca to the pool! Ok, it is also really nice to have the option of working out indoors when it is pouring buckets or steaming hot.) when it occurred to me that we are suckers! You can work out for free in Rio, and like at the gym or academia as they are called here, you can even spot novella stars if you are lucky. Some of Rio's free outdoor exercise equipment has been recently revamped. Check it out!
The Copacabana beach is a show all the way. Exercising near the ocean with all that fresh air and vitamin-D producing sunlight should be good for you.

I really like the new/improved equipment (they have put them up all the way to Recreio!)
Definitely Copacabana has a massive place for working out now but I think the gym is still better! Can't beat that view but the equipment is all focused on lifting your own body weight... just depends on what kind of training you want to do I guess!!
Running by the beach though...love it too!

why don't you write more about Canada as well! you said you are leaving brazil soon, so why not write about why and write more about Canada. I'm so sick of hearing about Brazil. You should write about Canada!

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Do you think so?

Just running and walking in sand is such great exercise. I second the idea of beach workouts over the gym, nothing beats fresh air.
