Today, I actually did something productive. On Thursday I went to Roath Park Community Centre in the aim to use there GYM, but sadly I got turned (pretty much normal) as I needed to get a Max Card to then get my Stretch. It was a bit stupid to get one card to get another. Although both enable me with big discount to many places.
I finally got that done today after waiting a whole weekend (which it totally doesn't seem like) and was able to use the GYM. I did have my hopes up with going to this GYM expecting it to be like any other GYM. To later to shocked to the comparison to any other GYM I have been to. I was told that the equipment was the latest GYM technology, my description of it would be that it is futuristic GYM technology.
The things like the Treadmill is simply a Treadmill but with upgraded technology and monitoring system as well as the Cross Trainer. The really cool stuff was the that there was a machine which was a cross between a Treadmill and a Cross Trainer which simulated you in running on the stop and determines the stride length you took. Sounds a lot like a Treadmill but it is a lot better.
Then there was the Mountain bike simulator XDream. It is sort of like mountain biking but indoors. It is just like being outside, it gets harder the higher the slope and easier going down slopes with other real competitive computer character. And amazing, Multi player with the machine next to you. It is a lot of work to do it but burns off a lot of then calories. I would describe it as a Guitar Hero in the sence of thatyou have to perform the action to win.
Then comes the weight lifting equipment. When I got my induction and the GYM coordinator showed me how it all worked, well every time I got on a machine I had no idea what so ever it would to. Then being stunned by what it does. When you perform the actions on the machine. there is not one part of it which doesn't move at all, including yourself sitting on it. As well a Water Powered Rowing Machine, instead of the Concept Two Rowers.
In conclusion, The GYM will be seeing a lot of me from now. Also the steep decline of the Cardiff's funds in money, I know what it had gone into now, the GYM and the whole brand new building but properly mostly into the Gym.

What to do and how to do it.
Why is it that after Christmas you have all of these presents and yet a couple of weeks after you are twiddling your thumbs. Personally I am not into reading but I got this book for Christmas call
'The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook' from the series of books and before a event which happens to me which I could of prevented if read this book I put my Big foot feet down and picked up the book.
You DO come across some really extreme situations in the book and one I found was 'How to Leap From A Motorcycle to a Car' and just for your pleasure I will tell you what it says just for your amusement:
For even more amusement; I have added my own comments in about them.
'How to Leap From A Motorcycle to a Car'
If you are trying to enter the car through one of its windows, remember that in many newer cars, only the front windows roll all the way down. You should attempt to be on the front passenger side
1) Wear a high-quality helmet and a leather jacket plus leather pants and boots.
2) Make sure both vehicles are moving at the same speed.
The slower the speed, the safer the move. Anything faster than sixty miles per hour is extremely dangerous.
3)Wait for a long straight section of road
4) get the vehicles as close as possible to each other.
You will be on the passenger side of the car, so you will be very close to the edge of the roadway. Be careful not to swerve.
5) Stand crouched with both of your feet on either the running board to the seat
6) Hold the throttle until the last instant.
Remember, as soon as you release the throttle the bike speed will decrease.
7) If the car has a handle inside (above the door) grab it with your free hand.
If not, Simply time the leap so your torso lands in the car. If someone can grab you and pull you in, all the better
8) Have the driver swerve away from the bike as soon as you are inside.
Once you have released the handle bars, the bike will go out of control and crash. It may also slip under the rear passenger wheel of the car.
9) If you miss the window tuck and roll away from the vehicles (see page 82 fir jumping out from a moving car.)
Be Aware
The move is much easier if two people are on the motorcycle so that the non-jumper can continue driving
In the movies and in the stunt shows, these transfers are usually performed at slow speeds, and in fact often employ the use of a metal step installed on one side of the bike or car, which allows the rider to step off while keeping the bike balanced. You are no likely to have this option.

(Comment. So the things you should be wearing on a motorcycle.)
2) Make sure both vehicles are moving at the same speed.

(Comment. So don't leap from the motorcycle to the car on a motorway and IF IT ISN'T DANGEROUS ENOUGH)
3)Wait for a long straight section of road
(Comment. Not a roundabout)
4) get the vehicles as close as possible to each other.

5) Stand crouched with both of your feet on either the running board to the seat
6) Hold the throttle until the last instant.
Remember, as soon as you release the throttle the bike speed will decrease.
(Comment. Well NOOOOO.)
7) If the car has a handle inside (above the door) grab it with your free hand.

(Comment. Or get run over.)

(Comment and leave which the Motorcycle crashes)

(Comment. As they said, In the movies' which is not real life, so why mention it. This book just wasted ink and killed a tree. Bad people.)
