It's time to get in shape

Well it has been awhile but a long time coming: I have officially starting working out again (of course it is only the first day, but you have to keep optimistic right).

I signed up for personal training this week on post. I went in this morning to have my very first session (or should I say second as the first time I met with my personal trainer she went over some guidelines and what not to get me started right). When I arrived I found out that she, I believe, fell down some stairs and could barely get herself back in her home. I hope she is ok. Needless to say, I DID NOT have personal training today. However, since our appointment was for 6:30 this morning (yes, that would be AM, am I nuts or what) and since I was already there I figured I might as well jump on the treadmill for some cardio. I only walked for a ½ hour but I did walk at 3 mph at a 5 incline. I think that is pretty good since I have not done it in forever.

While I was at the gym yesterday I also saw they have a cycling class. I have always wanted to attend one but never had one in my area I could attend. So I also decided to go this evening and check it out. Boy, you talk about something that will kick your derehre (I know that is spelled wrong, but I think you get the drift). But it was such a good workout. It was 40 minutes of brutality. A spinning class is no joke. I am so glad I attended though. I will probably attend the class on a regular basis.
I told Keith about it tonight. He said he would attend with me the next time I went.
