I decided that the only way I am going to get into shape is to return to my beloved Health Plex. I've been a memeber there off and on since they opened over 12+ years ago. It is an excellent facility. At one time, the whole family had membership but now it's just moi. They offer many classes and things that our local YMCA does not. Our Y is quite small and the only pool is outside. They also share the pool with the junior college swim team so it's often hard to be able to use it.
I haven't really been able to afford the monthly fee but decided I'd rather do without something else and renew.
I ventured out yesterday afternoon as I figured it wouldn't be crowded. There was a good sized crowd but most were in the over 70 age group. I didn't feel so intimidated.
Had a nice 45 minute workout that included the treadmill. It is much kinder to my knee that got hurt in the summer car incident than the pavement outside is.
A lot of my friends have membership there as well so it will be nice to have some companionship while sweating like a pig.
The workout went well and I didn't feel anything until I decided to get out of bed this morning- OUCH! I can sure tell that it's been a while! I wanted to wear my jammies to the office and bring a big old tube of Ben Gay.
I plan on going every other day and working different parts of my body- God knows it's all out of shape. I've got my work cut out for me, for sure. It felt nice to be back in a familiar place that will help me to get in better shape-esp before I turn 50 in September. My plan is to return to Montreal with the whole family and have a birthday soiree. Wish me luck!!
