Joined Gym


Yes today I joined the gym, just to repeat that I joined the gym, wow lol. I'm the first to admit that I'm 25 and have never stepped foot inside a gym so it's a whole new world to me. In regards to exercise well the most I do is walking to and from work sometimes, a 20 minute work there and then back, other than that I have tried and failed to do home exercising such as fitness DVDs and push ups/sit ups and stuff but at home you become too lazy and too distracted and seems I never began to see a difference, likely due to the fact I only did 20 minutes at a push a few times a week if that I just gave it up.


I have thought about joining a gym before but never had the motivation to do so or anyone to go with. I'm the kind of person where if I'm in an environment to do something then I will happily do it, so I won't exercise for an hour or 2 at home but I would exercise for an hour or 2 in the gym. I guess it's the same with everything, school for example you do the work at school but doing the home work is a different story.


So yes me and Andy joined fitness unlimited at Ponds Forge, it's convenient for us both and looks alright actually after the little tour we did today. We have paid up front for the month I only took a 3 month term, which was more expensive but that's just in case I happen not to commit to it or if things change but I will get work discount, which is a bonus.


I have my personal induction on Wednesday to talk about what I want to achieve, I'm not looking for big muscles or crap like that because I think it looks horrible, but a more flatter stomach and more toned up is my aim. I have some definition to me but it's not good enough for me and I feel as well that I need to work out because I love food lol and unhealthy food so at least this way I can have some junk food and burn it away.


Once the induction is out the way we can start using the equipment and get working, a plus side as well it's open till 10.30pm which is really good because I usually finish work at half 8 at night.


I will post my progression when I begin.


New pics on the slide have been posted on, as for the rest of the past week, it's been a tough week at work or has seemed that way, but work is work. Friday (yesterday) I was out in Dempseys with Andy dancing away, it was a good night but as soon as I got in I felt so tired lol I departed to my lovely bed - old age
