Mother Daughter Gym Time

I signed Leah up for the gym and we have gone 3 days together. She showed me how to use a few more machines and I liked them (as much as you can like an exercise machine). I also started something new on the treadmill. I walk a minute, run for 30 seconds, walk a minute, run for 30 seconds, repeat. It was not horrible. It was not easy. But I did it. My heart was getting a work out. I read an article that if you did this every day you would be running in a week. My plan is continue doing it and increasing my speed as I am able.
I also made a new friend. Her name is Stephanie. I made a positive comment about her using a machine that I can't use yet. She said she couldn't use it either a few months ago and that got the conversation going. She said she increases the difficulty (like speed or incline) and still does 20-30 minutes. I think that is good advice. I also found out that my neighbor is a member so maybe I can go with her sometime. Look at me. I have 5 potential work out buddies now and of course I can still go by myself.
