I joined a gym this past Sunday. I haven't been a member of a gym in a few years. I work long hours and it is hard for me to motivate myself to get to the gym and I always feel like I am wasting money.
THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT...or so I am telling myself. I REALLY REALLY want to get in shape this time. I want to be in walking marathon shape at all times, not just one time a year. I want to lose 60 lbs.
One of the things I really like about being a member of a gym is the variety. I get bored VERY EASILY. The one I joined, IN-SHAPE, has different amenity levels. The one I joined is a Double Diamond gym and is super nice. There are all kinds of equipment options and different areas to work out in. There are a variety of classes to choose from, which is great. I like to mix it up from day to day. There are three heated outdoor swimming pools and a jacuzzi.
I'm day two into my membership and I am sore. I am trying not to over do it because I don't want to stop going. It is on my way to work if I chose to work out in the morning or on my way home if I stop right after work. This works well for me, because frankly, once I walk into my door at night I am done! Better to stop on the way home.
So I guess I am now officially a gym rat. Look for me...I hope to be there at least 5 days a week :)
