I’d always considered myself myself out-doorsy type, and never taken much to gyms or workout equipment for that matter. About 2 months ago, I found myself skipping out on my daily jogs, by lack of motivation. After deciding that a gym membership might inspire me to exercise, since after all I would be paying $30 a month, I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I go at least four times a week now, and exercise all parts of body that simply jogging did not sculpt. After about an hour on the elliptical, weights, treadmill, and crunches, followed by a 15 minute hot tub session, I’ve never felt so revived. I can also pay attention to the numbers of calories and miles I’m burning, and build plans for each week to exceed the previous. I have an entirely new respect for gyms and trainers now, and can’t wait to start building my own home gym soon!
