I own a Jeep. I enjoy exercising at the gym. I have a marketing job. I do not find my job very interesting. I don't eat meat. I am from New England. I like warm pants in winter. I lift weights at the gym. I like to work out alone, without a workout partner.
I don't own a car. I enjoy running and walking. I live in a small town. I live semi-close towkr. I'm a computer programmer. I am tired of sitting in front of a computer all day. I work from 8 to 5. I like grilling steak. I am from Alaska. I like wearing warm pants. I go on runs. I may join the gym. I might get a treadmill. There is a new gym near me. There are no running clubs near me. I go to the gym. It rains a lot where I live. I'm a pretty plain person. I am joining a gym near me. I am looking forward to getting in shape. I prefer to work out alone.
How did it go with the gym signup? It went pretty well. It actually went better than I expected.  Signing up for the gym is just step one. Congratulations!  As you mentioned, you have taken the first step towards getting fit.  You know, even though we both prefer to work out alone, it is nice to work out at the gym and see how others are also working towards the same goal:  staying fit. I agree.  I saw everyone working out alone, yet with others around , so it did look like my kind of scene. Aside from lifting weights, what else do you do at the gym? I go to the gym at least five times a week, and I lift weights at least three of those days.  When I need to give my arms a break, I work on my leg muscles.  I run around the track or just ride the stationary exercise bicycle.   That sounds like a good plan.  I definitely need to add some weights to my routine.  I will be on the treadmills a lot, especially since it is hard for me to run outdoors daily due to the weather. It seems like you're definitely on the right track towards getting fit.  You know, you may want to start a fitness journal to keep track of your progress.  That will make you accountable to work out regularly, and you will be pleased to see your progress.  I started a journal when I first started working out.  It has been a great motivation. Journaling is an excellent idea! I never thought to document my workout progress before. Do you journal on the days you don't work out?  I have not written in my journal on the days that I don't work out.  But you know, I think I'll begin doing so.  That way, I can compare the way I feel on days that I work out, versus days that I don't work out.  Now tell me, how's it going with your treadmill search?  Any good products out there you may be considering? That's exactly what I was thinking about,  Looking back on the days I journal I can gain more insight into how exercise is really impacting my life.  I decided against getting the treadmill since I'll be using the one at the gym.  I think that will be good enough since the gym has several treadmills to choose from. Good thinking.  Not purchasing a treadmill now will save you some money, and you'll be more motivated to go to the gym since you won't have exercise equipment at home.  What other things do you like to grill on sunny days other than steak?  Do you get some good salmon up in Alaska? Oh, I love salmon, and it is pretty good here. Steak is about the only thing I really like to grill though.  I know you don't eat meat, but do you eat seafood?
