Getting Unfat

So, my hubby and I just joined American Family Fitness Gym. They were having a great deal of couple's registration for only $1.00! So, it's about $30.00 for each of us a month, not too shabby for 36 months. We can easily get out of the contract if we move, so we were very comfortable with signing up!
So far we've been doing really well with going. Pat likes the gym because there is so much variety with exercise there. You got your free weights, your strengthening machines, your treadmills, raquetball, aerobics classes, cycling, kickboxing classes, swimming...you name it, and that building has it.

I like it because we get out of the apartment to go there, so it gives me a bit more motivation to do it.

But check it out ladies, wouldn't you walk all day if you had a tv hooked up to your treadmill? We do! I normally walk thirty minutes (2 miles) on the treadmill at 3.9 miles per hour. I adjust the incline here and there throughout.

Then I use the Torso Rotation machine by Cybex. This is great for us ladies with those pesky love handles! You know what I'm talkin' about!! :)
And then lastly, I head over to dude central...the free weights. We got guys doing 'phenomenal pumps', as my brother would say, with hundreds of pounds of weights. Not me! I stick in the corner with my girly 5 pound weights and do my traditional routine. Biceps, triceps, and shoulders.

Look, I'm not trying to be a female American Gladiator! Just toned and less flabby.
Do any of you go to a gym? Which one? What's your exercise routine?

Happy Sunday, folks!

good for you! Hubby and I have started going to the gym too. But we're old...you know what they say, too soon old, too late smart. You're smart to do it now!

just dropping by from SITS to say hi; hope you'll do the same.

I like the elliptical machine. I also dig the big stability balls for doing abs and stuff like that. And yeh, that treadmill is awesome.
