I went into 24 hour fitness for a tour, and came out a member with a session scheduled with a personal trainer for Saturday noon. I have been avoiding gyms for years, had a treadmill and sold it, but I have been thinking about this for a while so it wasn't totally impulsive. My motivation: I don't want flabby arms! You know that middle age non tricep? NOT. Here's my stats: I am 5'7" and weigh 138# on their scale. My body fat is 38%. So even though I am not over weight, I have too much fat--healthy is less than 32 and 26 is ideal. They call it "skinny fat". So I want to make a commitment of a year, and will have to work out a schedule, which I am sure I can now that I have made a monetary commitment. :) I decided, after reading some articles in Runner's World at the library yesterday, that I only need to run 3 or 4 times a week. This morning I tried figuring out a workout on my own but it bombed.
The reason I chose 24 hour fitness over the Y or Fitness Connection is that they have an indoor pool. I want to do some water aerobics and maybe try some swimming and not have the weather be an impediment.
I am excited!!! I am going to try not to turn this into a fitness fanatic blog.
