Maybe this rest stop should have been titled "Joined the Gym Again". When I worked for the city, they paid for a membership to Gold's Gym and when I left the city I joined Planet Fitness with my son in-law. Gold's was alright especially since I did not have to pay the membership dues as long as I went 12 times a month. I didn't put a lot of effort into my work outs, so you can guess what the results were. When I joined Planet Fitness I was going to do better. My daughter is worried about my son in-law and we were going to go together. Occasionally we would meet at the gym and the the work outs were lack luster at best. Neither one of us put much into it and the results showed it. I got a neighbor to join Planet Fitness and he would go once in a while with me and soon he dropped out. It got to the point I wasn't going and I quit. I got a pass to the pool at the high school and that was great for a short time, until they changed up the lap swim times and then totally closed the pool down until they get the money for repairs. They now have the money and hopefully in the near future the pool will be repaired and reopen.
That brings us to now. Dr. Scott wanted me to get more exercise than I am getting from walking at the mall. He suggested joining a gym. After discussions with my Vick, it was decided I would join Planet Fitness again because it is only $10.00 a month. I have started doing the Circuit Training they have and it kicked my butt the first couple of times. After the first time I thought I would die. My calves hurt for a couple of days. Now I feel the burn but I can at least walk the next day. And as crazy as it sounds for me to say, "I actually look forward to going to the gym". The problem is right now I wont be in the gym for a short time due to the fact I had hand surgery this week and my Dr. doesn't want me to my than five pounds of pressure on my hand for a while. Hopefully, next week when I get the stitches out I will be cleared to resume my work outs.
