Finally made it to McConnell Health Center to start my exercise program!! As part of Fresh Start, we get a 12 week membership to the Health Center. It is an amazing facility! I met with Monica and she walked me around and started me on a few pieces. I tried a recumbent step machine which wasn't too bad. The recumbent elliptical was bad. Got on the treadmill and the recumbent bike for a bit. About 20 minutes total exercise. My goal is to get over there 3x per week. Which can include classes. There are tons of classes I want to take!!! Yoga, water aerobics, etc. Can't wait! Need to get the schedule in here with my calendar and decide what I'm doing.
And, it'll be nice to be able to exercise in the air conditioning this summer. I'm still having issues with my humidity intolerance, so I'm not sure how I'll do outside. But, if I can do the Health Center 3-4 times per week and walk around the neighborhood with Scott in the evenings...
On Sundays, they have a family day. Usually a guest is $10. On Sundays, a guest is $5 and your kids are free. I can at least drag Scott there once a week. Doubt if I would actually take the kids.
I also have to start thinking forward to what I'm going to do as far as exercise after this program is finished. Will I join the Y again? Or another place? Or... Cost is an issue, of course. Convenience. Willingness to go. Location. Lots to think about!
