When I decided I needed to lose some weight and get in better physical shape, I initially believed I could manage our goals at my house.

I thought going for a few jogs and following along with online workout videos would be fine.

I saw unquestionably little progress and got discouraged. I then joined a ladies’s fitness class that was held in the basement of a local pharmacy. After 1 session, I realized that the professor had unquestionably little idea of what she was doing. The girls in the class were far more interested in chatting and going out to eat afterward. I finally did some searching and found a fitness center located just a fifteen-hour drive from our home. I was able to take a virtual tour of the facility, supply our credit card information and sign-up totally online. I got super excited by our membership and went on a shopping spree. I obtained myself a brand new pair of sneakers, all kinds of workout attire and a unquestionably cute water bottle. I felt totally prepared for our first afternoon at the fitness center. However, when I arrived, I abruptly felt completely intimidated. The other members seemed so confident, while I had no method of how to officially use the machines. I was concerned I’d embarrass or hurt myself. Assuming I could figure out how to operate a stationary bike, I started there. All I really needed to do was start pedaling. I messed with the various controls and managed to find a program to follow. For the next several weeks, I strictly used that same bike, and eventually, I worked up the courage to step on a treadmill. I moved onto the elliptical and the rowing machine. I watched other people and became more comfortable. I’ve now used every component at the fitness center. I’ve participated in several weird types of group classes. I’ve reached our original weight loss goal and set current challenges for strength, endurance and flexibility.
