My feet, my calves, my tushie, my arms. They are not super sore just "Hello. We are here. Did you forget about us for 20 years?" sore. My hips are another story. Not exactly my hips but the muscles under the hips on the side of my legs. They burn (in a good way).
I went to the gym yesterday and did our normal routine and as I finishing the cool down on the treadmill 2 ladies were walking over and trying to figure out which ones to use because there were not 2 together. I told them I was finishing up and they could use this one and said to them "my friend and I joined last week" (we aren't the newbies as they joined that morning) "and we use 2 machines next to each other also". They were grateful. The funniest part was that they were just like us. One was taller and it seemed she had been there before and was showing her shorter nervous friend what to do. I gave her a word of encouragement and went on to the next machine. When I finished up on the bike, they were finishing on the treadmills and I smiled at the newbie (the one who reminded me of me- I wasn't being rude to the other but she wasn't looking my way). She smiled back. A glad she was there but nervous smile. I hope to run into them again. They seemed nice.
Isn't it funny how after going three days in a row I am 'regular' and not a 'newbie'? My mind is so weird. Does anyone else think like this? If so, are you willing to tell me or is that just between you and your thoughts?

Honestly, it was awkward when I did Curves a few years ago because it takes some time to get used to workouts, and I didn't want to look like I'd kill myself on machine. After awhile, it was fine. We started chatting, the ice was broken, and it was great! Of course, since then I've fallen off the bandwagon and been sitting in the wheel rut...
ReplyDeleteI have been going to National fitness (Cardinal fitness) on Randall and Oak. Reasonably priced and friendly.
