I joined a health club because of the swimming pool, but thought I'd get my money's worth by having a look at the gym as well. Before I knew what was happening, I'd been given a gym induction and a program to follow, and I was trapped! There was no way out!

All I seem to think about lately is goin to the gym and lifting weights! Do you think this is too soon and that I may get fed up if I overdo it? -------------- Do not dispise the snake cause it has no horns for it may turn into a dragon

The best way to avoid getting fed up is to change your routine every 8-12 weeks, and this also helps you make gains quicker.

Iv been doing the same routine now since I started, but I still LOVE IT!! The only thing I am scared of is liking it too much and then perhaps a few months down the line getting sick of it. Although that change of routine thing might help that. thank you for responding princesslodgey Riain -------------- Do not dispise the snake cause it has no horns for it may turn into a dragon

I lost my job and my husband said instead of finding a new one right away, take some time off, join a gym and get a trainer. I never really belong to a gym, but I was athletic as a kid. I found a gym a felt comfortable in and signed up with a personal trainer. 8 months later I competed in my first triathlon. I have not looked back since!!

Also being Mestizo ( 1/2 Filipino & 1/2 White ) I wasn't blessed with the genetics of being strong and had trouble lifting a bag of rice LOL. Feeling good about yourself, a way to relieve stress, always being healthy and engergized are only a few reasons why I continue to train.

And it always stays exciting to see new gains. -------------- I have some good news! I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Gieco!
