I have a free gym membership through work which I didn't use 4 about 7 months. Finally, on Christmas Eve, my Husband convinced me 2 go the gym 4 the 1st time and swim with him. It was great, not at all the horror I was xpecting. We now go every day before work. Working out with a friend or signifigant other makes a world of difference.

what will you be working on? make sure to wear your gold tube top, with your black bra, so your breasts dont jiggle to much... or fall out. and if your really feeling sexy wear princes -most beautiful girl- video outfit.

Christopher said:

be nasty.

IstenSzek said:

Christopher said:

he's like a dog. as soon as he's out of camera shot,
he has to open his mouth and sweat over his tongue..

IstenSzek said:

thats when all the vinyl pvc outfits appear.all the exclusive stuff

Christopher said:

I thought about wearing some pvc to the gym this morning,
but I figure it's gonna make to much distracting noise if
I get on the stairmaster

ok, i have to get my bag ready now cuz i have to be there
in just a little over 15 minutes.

i got a feeling that there's gonna be another one of my
"serenity now" threads this afternoon

IstenSzek said:

oh in that case leave your ruffle socks out of this


dont forget your mp3player! esp. if the personal trainer is annoying you lol

I do resistance training with this one of those stretchy rope things. It works too.

how was it how was it?

and i do want to know what you were wearing!

dawntreader said:

my personal trainer was the cuteness.
no buff muscle man, just a regular and
very nice funny guy.

the workouts were absolutely great and
i can't wait to go back.

i wore my black sweatpants with a tight
white tshirt lol.

and levis trainers.

IstenSzek said:

dawntreader said:

oh man i was workin up a black/purple/yellow/brown/stinkin sweat



and that was just from the warmup 12 minute cycling lol. but once
i sweated for the first 15 minutes, it stopped and i dried up real
nicely haha.

IstenSzek said:

I waste 80 quid a month, never go but at least I can get out at any time, a year

jaaaaa!

A wee word of warning:

I joined a gym a few years ago, and actually attended for the first few months.

The last time I went, it was a marathon three hour session, and to cool down I thought I'd finish up on the treadmill.

..ten minutes into that, I felt a twinge in my leg that I ignored and decided it was just a temporary spasm so I kept on running and admiring myself in the mirror.
Thirty seconds later my whole calf muscle tensed up with the most excruciating pain!

I had to get off, but the treadmill was still moving and I didn't have the time or presence of mind to grapple with the controls. I instinctively clutched my leg and fell off the back of the machine right in front of the spin class. How embarrassing!

I had to hobble to the side of the gym and rub my lower leg for five minutes until the muscle loosened up..

I'm a reasonably slim guy, but I was lulled into a false sense of security, so a word from the wise!

Well enjoy the showers thats what i do haha

nah, i wouldn't feel comfortable showering at the gym.
and it's only 3 minutes from our home so i can just do
that at home.

yesterday i was changing and there was some naked dude
standing next to me who just got out of the shower

i was like "geez man, just wrap on a towel", you're
messing with my concentration

Scotsman1999 said:

ouch, that sounds very painful. first thing the instructor told me was
no matter what your programm is and no matter how many repetitions you
decided you would do -as soon as you feel something that you think you
shouldn't or as soon as you get too tired, just stop.

at which i glanced at the clock and thought "oh my god, we've only been
working out for 15 minutes and already i feel like i'm gonna die" lol.

everyone ...

No - don't do it!

I've never even set foot in a gym - apart from in school - but I think the time is coming where I'm going to have to start considering it. Or some form of exercise. Seriously, the last 3 nights in a row, I've gone to bed thinking about this. Not sure why. My body must be groaning.

onenitealone said:

lol @ the groaning body

I thought it would be horrible but I'm actually really looking forward
to my 5pm appointment this afternoon. Can't wait to get in there again

IstenSzek said:

Yay! Told ya!

IstenSzek said:

Good for you!

You'll be all buff and stuff soon. Then you can start wearing those paint-splashed pantaloons bodybuilders love.
