gym 1

So today, I went to the gym for the first time in ages and ages and ages. I like this place so much more than any other place I've been. It's a women only place, so no worries about perverts jerking off in the pool or hot tub like those incidents at 24Hour Fitness a few years ago. It has a nice feeling, not so competitive and bitchy as other gyms.

I took one of the aqua cardio classes this morning and it felt good to race around in the water and stretch. Afterwards I jogged a half mile on the treadmill and listened to Gackt songs on repeat. Now I am quite worn out, but in a very good way.

The routine I am on has me run for 2 minutes, then walk 2, then run, etc for 30 total. I feel like it energizes me so much more than just running, it keeps your body guessing so you don't go into hypno-mode.

That's interesting. I didn't run the entire time (hah!) given my poor shape. But I will have to try that routine. Thanks!

When I come back to Texas, I can chase you with a pointed stick if you want!

It's not a full size pool that has room for laps - just the 4-5 foot deep for the water classes. Premier Lady Fitness, has north and south locations.
