Gym Bound!

In my quest on the road to health, I enrolled the family in a local gym membership with a month to month contract and no initiation fees. While I haven’t worn out the Bowflex Revolution I have, I have been looking to add a minimum of 45 minutes of cardio to my workout, which would put at about 90 minutes of exercise a day. Having this equipment in the garage, which doubles as the workout room is very convenient but does have some drawbacks.

Thankfully my wife and I both have friends who are members at this gym, which also gives us someone to workout with. This is only the second time I have made the decision to join a gym. The first time was back in 2003 when I lived in Redondo Beach and I had dropped a fair amount of weight using Tony Horton’s P90. Unfortunately I did not have the diet portion of a healthy lifestyle in place like I do now. I suspect the additional daily exercise, mainly the cardio will give me some quick results that I probably wouldn’t see if I continued to work out at home. Who knows, maybe I sell the Bowflex and put that money towards the gym membership.

Hopefully it all works out for us. Thankfully, our 6 year old can go to a kids area and be watched and we know he is safe. That is a great benefit of this club! With any luck I should see that target weight I am looking for, which improving on my blood numbers thanks in big part to my lifestyle change.
