Now that I'm unemployed, I feel like I should join a gym. It's always good to stay active and stuff, and probably even more so when you're unemployed, to avoid turning into a blob of jello and lapsing into depression.

So Penn's gym has this special membership for alumni. I could join for about $20/month through the end of August. And it's not that far for me; only about a 20 minute walk.

The catch? With this membership, I'm only permitted in the gym from 6am-8am, Monday-Friday.

Is it worth it? Will I actually wake up in time to go? Should I just buy DDR and get my exercise that way?

Honestly, with any gym, it's a struggle to go. Especially if it's that restricted - it'll be even worse to force yourself to go with regularity that time in the morning (and have to deal with all the morning commuters etc). I'd go for DDR (or, failing that, see if there's a better rate somewhere else).

DDR is nice for cardio and all, but a gym is good for weights.
