That’s right, I am again a gym-goer. I have been a member of the 24 hour fitness clubs since I was 13 years old. I have a family plan, or should I say my parents have a family plan, and I am still on their plan. They still pay for my membership, and it’s time I started using it again.

Last weekend I started going to the gym again. I went on Saturday for the first time in nearly a year. I know, awful! But when people start asking if you’re expecting, you know you’ve got to make a change. I pulled out my work out clothes and made my way to the gym not far from my house. I like it, it’s quite nice. I went both Saturday and Sunday, and both days it wasn’t very crowded so I could use whatever machines I wanted. Of course, I also get to see tons of ads and infomercials for things like meal replacement bars, physical trainers, cheap health insurance, dietary supplements and the like. Though one of the TVs usually shows some kind of sitcom so I can work out in front of that one. Yes, watching TV while you run is great to keep your mind off how much fun you’re having sweating and all.

It felt great, really. After working out I feel so relaxed. I looked up my favorite group class, Turbo Kickboxing, and it’s only offered once a week at the club close to my house. It’s not offered at all at the one near my work though. So for now I’ve just been running for 30 minutes on an elliptical machine (that’s easy on my knees) and then lifting for another 30 minutes. That’s a pretty good workout to me. I do a little bit of everything on the machines, including arms, legs, and abs. Abs are my main problem area, cause I have a belly from all the foods I like to eat. So hopefully I’ll start seeing some results soon.

I’ve decided that on weekends I can go to the gym close to my house, but on weeknights, I’m best to go to the one near work. The reason is it’s too tempting to just go home after the long drive. But if I go to the gym first, before the long drive, then I can’t talk myself into going home rather than the gym. The gym by my work is pretty good too, but pretty crowded after the work day. But it’s still alright and I’m able to use all the machines I want without a long wait. Plus the one near work has more ab machines than the one near my house, so I think those can really benefit me.

I’m starting off rather slow, I’m not a hero and I don’t need to make myself sick overdoing it. But if I stick with it I should start to see an improvement in my general health and hopefully the shape of my body.
