July 6th
Was unable to get a workout in yesterday I was tired from doing the awake overnight shift with my son Sunday night and then had family pop by for a few hours before they left to go back to Manitoba. So no energy for exercise unfortunately.
July 7th
Went to the gym with my son for a cardio workout. Feeling pretty good! Did:
30min of incline treadmill walk (saw something online about walking at a speed of 2.5 and doing 5min of incline 5, 5min of incline 8, 5 min of incline 10, 5min of incline 12, and then back down)
Holy cow! I pay 79€ per month. And I already thought that was quite much! Opened all day long (6:00-11:00 pm) with approx 25-30 classes every day. Don’t you have any low cost places?
Checking in - I went to a spinning class this afternoon. Yesterday they changed the bikes, and first I was excited, but dang… I got on one that was totally wrong calibrated! There was no way I could reach the power that was given by the instructor, I was always 20-30% below… that was a bit frustrating, but still a good class!
Glad to see you getting active and adding movement into your daily routine. I know it took me longer to get there at the beginning of my journey.
Love that classic line
Gym’s here can go from $ 15/ month with a $49 start up fee and a $49 annual membership fee which is most common for just weights and machines and few classes offered
My gym is a bit more upscale with massages / spa area. Sauna’s and hot tubs and pools as well as courts, machines, weights, classes etc Also has a shop and cafe. I was only interested in the pool and a CLEAN facility lol-- payment is $850 / 13 months which I calculate as a daily $$ and If I only go 300 days out of the 13 months I am still paying less than $3 / day. The gym also offers challenges each month where you can win cash and I was able to reduce my membership by $100 with prizes won over the year.
I do find nature to be free but also many routines available on YouTube that can give you a hell of a workout.
Anytime Fitness goes alright for approximately $20 per week. I’ve been to 5 or 6 different locations and all have been pretty good. Some busier than others but overall quite satisfactory
Off topic but I won’t derail… I often wonder the old timers of us here that all know each other from being here along time lol ( old timers as in been on here Along time lol )
When I see the words midwest USA , and when Eric @Dazercat posts photos in California , I’ve often wondered why don’t we ever set up house swap type holidays lol?
Remember the movie the holiday with jack black and Cameron Diaz where they do the house swap
I clearly like to think my life is a movie lmao
But there are so many of us on here that all know each other in length, it’s never occurred to me to make a thread on the idea ?!?
I keep asking @Dazercat when he’ll host the ts reunion lol
Not to derail i hit the gym for a run this morning and didnt have an immune response amen! So i think the episode the other day was because i had peanuts and celery before running. Just dont do it!
July 8th
Not sure if I will be able to get a workout in today BUT…
Wednesday weigh in: Lost 1.4lb since last week making it a 10lb loss since I started this health journey again. A total of 45lb lost from my heaviest weight.
I do my punch bag workouts with videos on YouTube, and it’s really tough! Now that I’ve joined a gym I don’t do them as often, but once a week I try to hit the bag! The best psychiatrist ever!
