As soon as I woke up this morning, I walked a mile up and down the street to psych me up for the gym. It didn’t really psych me up but I went anyway. On days like this, I tell myself to just go and walk the treadmill until I wake up then I can leave if I want. That always tricks me into doing at least one lap around the machines while I’m there. It’s not easy being your own coach but, like anything else, it works if you work it. I’d posted this on Facebook and a FBF wrote that she only walks the treadmill, that she’s afraid of the machines because she doesn’t know how to use them and is too shy to ask. I told her the first time I went to Planet Fitness I asked them to show me the machines and give me a basic routine to do using them. Like the arm machines, I had to start out using the lowest weight settings and I did just 3 repetitions of 15 at each machine. The same with the leg machines and the tummy crunch machine, the waist twist machine, etc. Even now I don’t do all the machines and some I haven’t tried at all. But I don’t care, I do what I can and found it fun once I got into it and stopped being self conscious. A galpal yesterday said next time we meet for breakfast, we can go to a place near Planet Fitness so she can get a work out in first. After I work out, I’m a sweaty mess, so that’s a no.
