I signed up for a year so that I can't bail out again
and I really regret it now lol.

Tomorrow morning I have to go in and get my first hour
session with a private trainer.

It feels like I have to go for a root canal right now.

what was I thinking

It's actually fun!



Bring your headphones and it feels like you're dancing. Make a project out of making 'workout' CDs.

I joined about 3 months ago and I'm actually loving it.

I'm thinking bout joining for the first time in my life too

but I think I won't really get a chance to listen tomorrow
since some instructor beefcake is gonna show me the ropes.

I"m sure I get some silly stares when I'm on the treadmill, but I don't care. I'm laughing all the way.

gym's are expensive ways to boost ur ego.

thesexofit said:

true, i guess. a lot of people at the gym have a bad attitude.
i went to the open day last weekend, which is when i signed up
and there were a lot of folks there working out who had really
bad attitude.

of the 10 people i said "hi" to, only 2 responded, the others
just looked at me as if to say "oh, come on now, you think you
can come here and make something out of yourself??"

but I don't give a fck about those kinda people. i'd be more
interested in the one geek that actually says "hi" and takes
the time for a chat than the muscle nanny pumpin' iron with
his stinkin attitude.

i am starting monday.

CarrieMpls said:

that's the spirit! and that is exactly what i am gonna do.

and i know they're gonna laugh because i run like a goose

with broken legs

but i'm going for me and not for them

cborgman said:

a couple more and we should start an international fitness buddies club



that is, if I don't quit before tomorrow afternoon

IstenSzek said:

i actually love going. i have missed going.

i know its good for u and all, but from the people i know, only macho dickheads go to the gym. Then u see them in clubs, with tight pink shirts, showing off their arms. Ha, they think they can hit a geeky looking skinny kid like me, but big mucsle have nothing over experience.


Nothing wrong in wnating to look good, but some guys take that shit too far.

thesexofit said:

well I'm barely hitting puberty so it will be interesting to see where i can take my body. I gained 12 pounds in the last couple years and want to make sure it stays in the right places. I don't know what exercises to do to stay trim and not beef out. I would look strange all muscly. Nice and tone and sharp but not bulky is what I want

thesexofit said:

very true.

IstenSzek said:

Have fun IstenSzek!!!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

same here. i would like my skinny arms to be a bit bigger
but i don't want muscles. not those visible bulky things,
like the ones you see on pornstars

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

if only

i am just trying to lose weight again. people in my family are naturally STACKED and i dont want bigger muscle. i just do treadmill, bike, abs, bike treadmill.

sometimes that stairmaster but better amchine... ellipses? eclipse? something...

thesexofit said:

You're young.

Some of us old folks go to the gym just to feel healthy. It's nothing to do with building muscle and everything to do with feeling like our bodies aren't falling apart. At least that's why everyone I know goes to the gym.

IstenSzek said:

You need to do lighter weights and higher repetitions. If you want bulk you have to lift heavier weights for a more intense workout.

I see it every time i go clubbing. Girls going for big armed guys And u know, i guess iam jealous,as these big guys always get the girls, but iam jealous, yet i dont wanna look like them.

And this may be harsh, but guys with huge arms and no chests look wrong.


I wish their was an acne cure LOL

cborgman said:

The elliptical!

That's my favorite!

CarrieMpls said:

i LOVE that thing.

which reminds me, if that gym across the street doesnt have one, i am going to find a different gym.

the sweat rolls off me in DROVES, but i am never hurting or wanting to stop on that thing

Dude, I have a home gym and lots of lube. come over.

Imago said:

don't tease.

cborgman said:

same here. I have bad knees, so bikes and running are generally out. I do a cardio tease class (think strip tease aerobics, you feel like you're auditioning for a Britney video and the instructor is a HOOT!) and a weight lifting class each once a week (which is really more toning as it's low weights and lots of repititions). The rest of the time I speed walk for miles or do the elliptical.

have a 12 noon with my new trainer monday....
