First Gym experience

Well about 2 wks ago my friend Jennifer talked me into trying her gym out.  I contemplated it for a few mins then decided "sure why not".  I am a girl who is into trying something new.  So I got up that next morning thinking "I can do this".  So I went.  First we did Abs and OMGoodness it was hard but awesome worked up one heck of a sweat.  Then we did Celebrity WORKOUT.  Awesome beats and it really made me want to move.  Afterwards I did SPIN for the first time.  OMGoodness the seat hurt my back side really bad.  But I stayed with it.  After Spin I decided that it was not for me right now, but I am proud of myself for trying it out.  The bad part is that I couldn't sit down comfortably for a week.  So i decided that i would instead walk a mile on the treadmill now while everyone does the spin class. I walk 1 mile a day.


So last week on Thursday I decided to continue and be a member at Elite Fitness.  I am a person that likes to make new friends and I felt so comfortable there at the gym.  I did my first weight lifting class "BODYPUMP" and boy I over did it,  I really have to learn good form.   But I know that in time I will get better and be able to do what every one else is able to do.  On friday i woke up and boy was I ever sore.  I could barely move my left arm with out my neck killing me. But after Lauren worked me out in AB Blast and Celebrity I felt great. 

This week I started back at Curves 3 days a week for 30 mins a day(circuit training) and Elite Fitness 2 days a week weight lifting and Abs and aerobics.  I walk 1.25 miles a day.   I did Bodypump Thursday and didn't over do it but boy did I feel it when I got up on Friday.  But of course Abs Blast and Celebrity worked out all of the kinks.  I didn't do the 30 mins on the treadmill but I think that it was ok because I was on my feet walking all around Sports Spectrum Volunteering for the NWLA Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure".  My friend Cyndi and I put together race packets, register, handed out tshirts and helped pack up.  SO I think that will all of my running around I got my mile in.

Today I got up at 4am and got ready for the "Race for the Cure".  I got there and did my usual Volunteering as I do every year, and then my work team and I all walked the 1 mile walk.  Next year I hope to be conditioned to do the 5K run.
