Well actually I joined a couple months ago, but it takes so much time, I have no time to write! Now that just is NOT true!!! But it sounds like a good excuse. Anyway, back to the gym.
I have to admit I thought it would be all spandex, and svelte bodies. Never thought it would look any thing like "Biggest Loser" where everyone obviously has some weight issues, except for the trainers. I was pleasantly surprised.
Many, MANY people are just not in shape. No, they're not morbidly obese, but there were quite a few big people there. What depressed me was how well they carried themselves, and how much they worked out, and how hard! I was winded after the first half hour (the first day that is) and they were going, and going, and going.
I have since increased my stamina, and have been working out at least 5 days a week, for an hour. Thought the pounds would just drop off, like the "Biggest Loser", but noooooooooo. Oh my clothes do fit a bit differently, and everyone (?) knows muscle weighs more than fat, but I want to see results in the way of numbers, on the scale!!!
So back to the big picture. Of course there are a couple "beautiful people" that go. The kind who have perfect bodies, perfect skin, perfect hair, perfect tans, and look amazing in spandex...but they're in the minority. The rest of us are nondescript, doing our best, and that's the bottom line. We're trying!
The most fun event is walking the upper course track around the basketball/volleyball and watching the little kids below play basketball, or volleyball. The athletes of the future, keeping fit, and having fun!
