Let the soreness begin! I finally decided on a place to work out. I picked LA Fitness because they have no contracts, the place looks clean and the people there seem to be more interested in working out than in staring at those not looking like Silvester Stallone as if we were from another planet.
My first day was with a trainer. If you've ever signed up for a gym, you know this routine. They "give" you a health evaluation with a personal fitness trainer to set your goals and see what you want to achieve. What they don't tell you is that this is nothing more than a way to make sure these guys get potential clients. That "one hour" really is 30 minutes of exercise on 2-3 pieces of equipment followed by 30 minutes of sales. I have nothing against this, except that the pricing is kind of ridiculous. $60.00 PER HOUR with a minimum plan of 4 hours a week... that's $240.00 PER WEEK.... that's more than the gym itself!!
Oh well, at least I found out what my percentage of body fat was. But I'm not telling. Let's just say that I'd like to get to 16% and I'm far, far away from it. Today I go back for some much needed cardio an a little upper body work out. My weight-in is this Thursday, right before my vacation trip to Mexico. I'll keep you posted on how much damage I cause while I'm there, stay tuned.
