Today I went to the gym, and, when signing out, pressed some of the various informationy buttons, because I like information. One of the pieces of information was that in total I have used about 1250kcal in my visits to the gym (excluding the day I forgot my techno-key). On the way out I purchased my usual bottle of lucozade from the vending machine. Then I had a thought, and looked at the nutritional information. 308kJ per 100ml. That's 73kcal per 100ml. The bottle is 380ml. That's 277kcal per bottle. In five visits, and five bottles, that's 1387kcal. Good job I'm visiting the gym for tone rather than to lose weight. (Mind, the forgotten key day would make the calorie-burn actually more like 1560, so it's not quite as silly as it looks.)
In other gym-related gubbins, all the machines that monitor heartrate and are cardio-focused start swearing at me whenever I use them, and screaming "DANGER WILL ROBINSON, HIGH HEART RATE, YOU WILL EXPLODE" and flailing their arms. Silly machines, a heart rate of 180 is only unexpectedly high for filthy decrepit humans, it is quite low for mice and apparently in the appropriate range for optimal exercise results for the average two-year-old human (using the common (220 - age) formula for max heartrate, and 75-85% as optimum).
