@Frumple: I remember a year or two back, at one of those McDonald's playgrounds with my niece. I was supposed to go in and find her as we were leaving, and it was at that moment I realised just how far I'd left my childhood behind. There was this little boy amongst the kids playing in it, and he stops and squints at me as I struggle to cram myself through the plastic tunnel thing, and he says, "You're not supposed to be in here!"

It was heartbreaking. I NEVAR FELT SO OLD.

Proper response is to squint back and go, "Yous not the boss o'me!" and then chuck (lightly) one of the balls from the ball pit at 'im.

But yeah, silly expectations like that are both pervasive and gets into the kids, too. It's a sad thing. We need bigger playgrounds like that, and an excising of the nonsense that says people over a certain age aren't supposed to use them. Society would probably end up both healthier and happier.

[Yoink]

Yeah. That would be awesome.

There are so many government initiatives/ad campaigns promoting fitness, but no-one's thought to build Adult-sized playgrounds? Or made any effort to remove the social stigma from being an adult and running around like a spaz, for that matter.
I like running around like a spaz, but I rarely do it if I'm out in public or whatever.

[pisskop]

Spaz?  Like uncoordinated mess of a 6yrold child who pumps his arms around like he's a 16yrold in a mosh pit when he runs?

[Loud Whispers]

Yeah. That would be awesome.

Fun fact, the Gymnasium for the Greeks literally meant "the place to get naked."

[Aklyon]

Yeah. That would be awesome.

I thought thats what the public baths were for?

[Yoink]

Those horny Greeks, always after any excuse to get their kit off.

[Loud Whispers]

Yeah. That would be awesome.

Romans.

I do this all the time at work. I run and jump so I can touch the signs hanging over the aisles, then when people give me dirty looks I'm like, "Can you touch it?"

Invariably, those who are asked either quail at the challenge before them, or give me another dirty look, and then try to touch the sign.

Hehe. Some things are always fun.
I agree with the chair spinning. Chair spinning never gets old.

I like being active. That burn in your lungs and legs is saying, "Hey, you're alive... QUIT BEING QUITE SO LIVELY!"

[Knight of Fools]

Strangely, sleeping for ten hours gives me the same buzz as running three miles.

WTF, body?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That's odd. Waking up is cortisol, running is endorphine. Shouldn't feel very similar, at least I don't think so.

Just found a crazy thing that allows you to see what some websites used to look like back in the day. Here's Half-Life's original website.

That's what I tried to tell the police the last time I did serious exercise, but they weren't having any of it. Then the running machine training came into use.
