Yesterday, Tracy and Melissa begged me to go to a spin class at Gold's Gym with them so I went. I really enjoyed spin last year at Fitness Plus and then just fell out of the habit and back into my old habits. I really loved my trainer Shawn and did really well with him... then he moved to Huntsville. I have really used that as a great excuse to not have the self-discipline to work out and eat right.
After the spin class yesterday, I sat down and talked with a sweet lady named Sharon about pricing and training options. By the end of our talk, she offered me a work trade program where I can work for 2 hours a week to pay for my membership. I also felt overly excited when I saw that the treadmills have ipod/iphone docks!! Now there is absolutely NO excuse not to go! Who else can charge their ipod/iphones and run at the same time??
I downloaded an app on my phone that has the Couch to 5k program. It tells you when to walk and when to run. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Day one alternates 90 seconds of walking and 60 seconds of running for 30 minutes. I skipped the third run because my ankles were burning but then it stopped so i ran the rest of the runs. (great story... I know)
