It has been about 4 weeks since I started working out at my new gym.  My old gym was a little further away, the hours were bad and they charged A LOT monthly for child care. It's to be expected considering I have 4 children but considering the child care part was really kinda cheesy and there wasn't much for the kids to do, it just seems like a waste.  I have been a member of my old gym for close to 2 years and was rarely going because I have been working so much.  The hours weren't working for me.    So, Jason and I joined LA Fitness!  I like it so far!  The hours are way better, it has a pool (which I am way excited about, but have yet to use it) and the child care is way cheaper!  The kids gym is actually a place the kids can run and play and actually get a workout themselves!
My goal was to work out at least 3 times a week.  So far so good!  I am actually starting to feel good!  ENERGIZED!  I am starting to notice a difference in my body!!  Which of course makes me feel even better!  They just added a few dance classes which I fully intend on taking advantage of!!
So, I am going to use this blog to keep track of my workouts. I am on the search of a few good routines because right now I am kinda just *adlibing* it right now.
I am starting off slow with the cardio because I am very much out of shape.  It was kinda depressing in the beginning but I am starting to feel better about it!  I have managed to build some endurance and am able to mentally push myself a little more!!
Todays workout:  cardio/arms/abs
2 miles on the treadmill RUNNING!!  (1 mile on an incline)
1/2 mile of walking
35 minutes of cardio!
I know this is a little slow but I am working on distance and building my endurance, I will bring in the speed once I feel comfortable with my pace and distance.
Wore my wrist weights to work on my arms while running.
Worked on my upper arms and abs.
I need to write down all my routines as I go so I know what I am doing.  Going to find some routines to follow.  Sometimes a list to follow is the best way to go for me...LOL!!
My blog title reminds me of my faves from one of my faves :) LOL.  Feeling Good performed by Adam Lambert
