Feel the burn

Tomorrow after work I have a session with a personal trainer at my new gym. I don't normally "do" gyms. I've gotten by just fine with my bike, the road, and the treadmill. I also strength train, although I have admittedly slacked off this summer (in more ways than one...).

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my new company offers a free corporate membership to 1 of 2 gym chains. I found one that is literally equidistant from home and work--i.e., no excuse not to stop as I drive by 5 days a week! I figured I would give it a try...I'm mostly interested in using some new machines for weight training, using the pool, trying out a class or two, and generally being accountable (if we don't use the membership at least 12 times a month, they charge us). Good motivation, no? :)

So, the corporate membership comes with a free personal training session. I've done this once before and don't really like it. I may be able to run 3 miles no problemo at any time, but that doesn't necessarily mean I am all-that when it comes to cardiovascular health. I have NO idea what they have in store for me. But at least I'll be there, get in a workout, and see what it's all about. I want to feel comfortable there and make sure that all shapes and sizes utilize that gym. The last thing I need is some blond bombshell in size 2 spandex working out next to me...
