I am a fairly active person. I ride my bike 4 miles each morning to work regardless the weather, and spend most of our family days out hiking, exploring, biking, or just adventuring together as a family.
One thing I have never been good at however is going to the gym. I have always gotten bored with weight training, and figuring out a workout schedule that matches up with the work schedule and family schedule has always been different.
Nonetheless, we decided to give it a shot. My wife has always been a runner, but right now she is 6 months pregnant, and she needs some other ways to continue to exercise. So, we agreed to try a 3 month gym membership a try.
So far, this time around has been different. For starters, the first day there, the salesman-trainer who signed us up, went the extra mile and set me up with a lifting routine that I can do in about 40 minutes. It gives me purpose when I walk in.
Secondly, I started going to spinning classes. Now, as a cyclist, there has definitely been a brain shift I have had to do. Spin bikes are definitely not the same as a road bike on a trainer in the basement. Spin bikes feel very little like the real thing. However, I leave every session dripping in sweat, and legs on fire. I guess it's working.
Today I'm about 15 days into my 3 month trial membership. Right now I'm digging it. Let's see how I feel in a month or so.
Right now I'm just glad it's working out!
