Default Finally went to the gym!

I went to the gym for the first time in 3 months. I went to the gym first thing this morning and did 25 minutes on the treadmill. Baby steps, right?

Absolutely! And please don't let anyone's else progress at the gym make you rethink how fast you are going, how long, etc. Everyone is different, and it can take a while to get back in the groove.

I hadn't really "worked out" for years...like YEARS. So I started slowly and had a few friends comment about how I really could do more. Yes, I COULD, but that's how I burnt myself out in the past. Too much, too soon. I made myself do 30 minutes for a long time. Eventually I did 45. Now after 4 months of SERIOUSLY working out consistently, I am strong enough to do 1 hour workouts anytime I want.

Set your own pace and enjoy.
