Gym Week 1
Hello, my name is Laura and I have an overweight problem. First week of going to the gym and I walk and especially sit like a granny. Key to every work out is stretching before and after. My trainer didn’t tell me that part and for the last two days I am paying the price.
It’s amazing how you re-discover or shall I say it discover muscles that you have never used before. I think because of cost, I probably can’t afford a trainer but getting a taste of what to do is exciting. I know that with a little effort it will be easy to lose. I did a 30 minute workout with the trainer and I lost 2 pounds..lol..Crazy but worth the pain in my eyes.
My goal is to report to the gym 3 time a week and maybe once on the Sunday. The gym can really fill up so I need to gage when the best time is for me. I like Sunday because when I went to sign up, nobody was really there and I liked that. We’ll see how it goes.
1. Always stretch
2. Always drink water after every set
3. Shake it out when you feel stiff
4. Did I say stretch when shaking doesn’t help
5. Always smile that you made it to the gym
6. No pain no gain/ weight loss.
I know that working out is good and I prefer to go lone wolf. Having a work out buddy is nice but it can be distracting. We’ll see how things go. I just like doing things on my own.
