At least today I will be! The last time I was at the gym was probably 1.5-2 years ago. Yesterday my husband and I went to the gym by our apartment and signed up for a years membership. Im excited and scared for my muscles. I know tomorrow they will be screaming at me.
This gym is amazing though. Their ellipticals and treadmills have their own TVs built into it with cable. All you need to do is bring headphones and you're all set! How cool is that??? Things like that will definitely keep me coming back. Not to mention the group class exercises. I want to give Zumba a try.
Wish me luck!! Im hoping that this time around I will actually be able to reach my goal.
So you joined a Good Life if you're doing Zumba right? Zumba is really fun, but it's not really high intensity, it's more of a get moving kind of class. I really like bodycombat and bodyflow, and spinning. I hope you like them!!!
I liked Zumba, I sweat so much!
I wish my gym was as cool as yours sounds I could stay on a machine for so long if I could watch TV. Actually when I get home, I plan to rig something like that up for the crappy exercise machine I have in my dogs room... Maybe I should make it so that I can't watch TV unless I am exercising... That might be motivating.
I like the Bodypump class... Hardcore!
Anyway, Good luck with the gym, and in no time your body will get vicious
Saphelle, what is Good life? Is that a gym? I joined Golds Gym, but Ive never seen a gym like this. The guy who runs it apparently tries to find all kinds of ways to draw people into the gym. Which class is best for toning?
Miriko - everyone raves about Zumba so I figured I'd test the waters to see how much I like it. I think working out sounds so much better when there is a tv involved. I'd love to have something in my own home, but right now its not going to happen. Oh well gym it is )
I survived my first workout!!! 50 min of cardio, burned 394 calories and did 20 min worth of weight machines (arms/abs). Check out this pic that i snapped of the elliptical screen.
Love it! And love that you joined a gym! I've been saving up some $$$ and am signing up next week. We have a Gold's in town but it's not the one I was thinking about. Now you've got me curious w/those machines. Keep up the good work!
Miriko - It totally helped my workout! Once I build up a little bit of endurance I can go for longer on the machine. I was watching some movie on comedy centeral, then switched to another machine and watched food network on that haha. I love to cook
nurse2be - Im not sure if all Golds gym have these machines but its worth a try to check it out. It was kinda hefty to sign up though...$299 starting fees and $20 per month thereafter. Eeekk! My husband said with all that money being spent I better utilize it.
I'm loving your eliptical monitor. The TVs on the treads and elips at my gym are attached to the machine, but seperate from the controls. And definately not touch screen. Those are way cool!
I do zumba at the Y. Twice a week. I love it. If your gym does bosu, you should give it a go. Holy crap what a workout.
Ooh I would LOVE a class that incoporates a bosu !!! I balance myself on my stomach for as long as I can with my limbs as high as I can, and I use them for sit ups as I have a tailbone injury that never healed.
Saphaelle - Omg your signature says you're getting married in Greece?! HOW COOL! Wow I want to at least visit the country. Would be a dream to get married there. (sorry off topic)
Julie99s - yeah I've never seen anything like that. And if you plug in your ipod, you can control your ipod on the touch screen instead of on the ipod instead. Im going to try the Zumba class next week when its in session.
LOL Lilly we are actually doing the wedding here but going to Greece for a month, and getting blessed etc. in the island village his parents lived and met each other. Like a second wedding lol. It's going to be so great ! That is my motivation.. I want to FEEL good when we get married, and actually like the pictures and be confident about them!
That is awesome about the touchscreens, I can't find the darn charger for my Sansa so I can't listen I might just have to go buy a new charger.
I be up in the gym just working on my fitness
