SparklyUnicorn Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I have to say I already feel better . I even went today...on my birthday. Yes, I'm sort of fishing for a happy birthday here. LOL. No no..not really. But yes I am already feeling the benefits. It's hard to motivate myself to go sometimes. One day I REALLY didn't want to go and DH made me go. He got almost nasty. It was just what I needed. LOL I'm thinking about making an appointment for a personal trainer. I haven't done any weight training stuff yet. 15 Quote

Miss Peregrine Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I'm cheap so the cost motivates me. Then I feel better and want to keep going. 1 Quote
SparklyUnicorn Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 I'm cheap so the cost motivates me. Then I feel better and want to keep going. I'm cheap too, but this is only costing $10 a month. Which is in a way probably not motivating enough. LOL But I am literally THAT cheap that I'll be motivated a little by that. 2 Quote

Do you mind me asking, are you overweight or just going to the gym for fun. I keep thinking about joining but I'm so overweight I feel like I need to lose some first iykwim? Quote
Peach Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Happy birthday! Re: the trainer, it would be money well-spent. Many will often do an assessment free to give you an idea of what you need and tosee how you like them. :party: 1 Quote
NoPlaceLikeHome Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Happy Belated Birthday! I am with you on trying to get my health back. I have been exercising fairly regularly since the beginning of April since I had a wake up call where I ended up in the ER due to being very short of breath. My extra 85 pounds of weight does not help asthma or my other health issues and I am getting way too old to put if off any more. Personal trainers can be great if you can afford to show you good routines. I really recommend weight training since it helps you feel better quicker than aerobics alone. Sometimes personal trainers have small group classes like the one I am doing now. I do it once a week only since I cannot afford more but it is insurance to get me to the gym once a week. Alternatively, if money is an issue, you can find weight training and aerobic videos on youtube, amazon, hulu, netflix, the library, etc. Great Courses had to sets on exercise. I also found having a video at home to use and some dumbells (sp?) and a step also useful to have at home. Leslie Sansone has great low impact videos ans she is inspiring. I like her Walk Away the Pounds. Step workouts can also be very rigorous. I like Step reebok the Video with Gin Miller. It is tough but you can march in place for intervals when it gets too tough.
