Fitness and working out is a huge part of my life, back in England I would workout at least 5 times per week. Since being in Korea I have continued to work out and i was a member at Seoul National University's gym however it was kind of expensive it was 55,000 won per month. So when moving back to Gimpo I didn't really want to fork out for a membership for a new gym as they all seem kind of pricey.
Instead i have started running on a trail up a small mountain behind where I live and I'm really enjoying it i have even found parallel bars, pull up bars and even a bench press along the trail. When I’m deep in the woods, I’m not there to make small talk or impress anyone. I’m there to work. I love the solitude as I am free from distractions and interruptions. I also enjoy outdoor training as it forces you to use your mind. As long as you are creative, you can exercise almost anywhere with little or nothing.
So remember you don't need a fancy gym to stay active Korea is full of similar work out parks, so for an effective workout you just need to use your mind. Myself I have incorporated body weight exercises to my workouts such as variations of push ups, dips and pull ups as well as incorporating running and hill sprints. Maybe at some stage I will sign up for a gym in the area but at the moment I'm happy using the earth as my gym free of charge.
