Then I looked up the prices for the local Boot Camp at the YMCA also here in town, super easy. I am thinking its the Y how much could they possibly charge?! GAH! $80 for 1x per week! 1 time! $225 if I can muster up the courage and pennies to go 3x per week. Whoa.
Then it was on to a more corporate gym, 24 Hour Fitness. They weren't so scary, I could pay $34 a month and have access to the entire gym plus the group classes. Thing is I only have a few options of classes to chose from since I need to be there and back preferably before the girls wake up and Jess takes off for work. So I am going to stick with my dear friend and personal trainer Jilian Michaels. Girl knows her stuff and she is all about circuit which is good for someone with working out ADD.
So my search today brought me back to a lot of the reason why I really prefer running over other types of exercise, its a no brainer! For the most part you pick a time of day that works best for your life and you strap on a good pair of fitted shoes and you head out. You can come up with your route while you out there, you pick the music or no music and you don't have any $ coming out of your pocket each month because you've signed away your life on some contract. You make a contract with YOURSELF to get healthy, feel good and improve by your own standards and goals. Yes today has concreted in me why I just love to run, the freedom of it is everything I have always tried to find in a gym.
I have a couple more hours of procrastinating...
I have also been going back and fourth with this. I do my "at-home" workouts along with running, but would like to incorporate more, like bike riding (stationary of course) and maybe some yoga and bootcamp classes...But the commitment of the gym always scares me... maybe someday I'll suck it up! After all, my work does pay for it as long as I go 6 times a month, that's doable, right??
ReplyDeleteHow about I join as you?! 6 times a month is pretty doable, its really only once a week and one extra thrown in there...I mean you could go and sit in the hot tub right?! LOL! So jelly...
ReplyDeleteI'm just amazed that there is an escalator in front of a 24 hour fitness... and it's being used!
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder how real that is LOL! But it wouldn't surprise me...
