wish me luck gentllemen and ladies of Blue Pride. I finally got the nerve to stop by this gym very near to my apt. It's a small place but state of the art equipment. i'm getting a 10 percent LE dicount that makes the dues reasonable. So come tuesday, hopefully, i can make some in roads and get back on track, well at least the elipticore or whatever that thing is ha

Bear, the butt looks OK, those thighs might be rubbing a little bit though! Like I'm one to talk!

13 days in a row doing cardio, weights every second day. I know a lot of people start up at gym at New Years, it's psychological. Have you done it too? I actually started at beginning of December, to fight the stress, coming out and all. The gym is one of the best friends a guy can, next to a pet.

I let my membership in the gym expire because the place was so filthy. So far I haven't joined a new one but I plan to eventually. In the meantime my back is killing me. It's my own fault. I was a whore back in the 90s when I took command of a bicycle patrol unit. All for Sunday and Monday off! I lost count of how many times I hit potholes and took headers. Along with other bicycle related injuries. Oh well, doo-doo happens! I've been paying for it for years! The operative phrase in this video is, "there's a great big crack in the back of my sacroiliac"! Not really! But…… My sacroiliac is acting up big time right now! Oh the pain!!!! My chiropractor is making a lot of money off of me right now!

I've been going to the gym quite regularly over the last couple months and have been enjoying the results. My resting heart rate has dropped to a lower level, I'm not hypertensive, I've lost a few inches of my waist and gained a few in muscles. I am also sleeping better, which for a college student is a HUGE plus.
I've also taken on Tae Soo Do, a Korean martial art. Occasionally I do yoga.

Good for you, I find getting into the routine is the hard part. Once you are there, then it is easy and you wonder what the barrier was.

Barrier: Getting past all the men in the gym who stink!!! Incentive: Seeing certain men at the gym...

My hubby and I have a family membership at the "Y" here in Venice Florida. in fact, I'll be going there in a few moments for my workout. I think we're the youngest people in the place. So you can immagine how old these people are !!! Seriously, A local funeral home has a sign in the lobby and the owner has his own parking space right in front of the facility. You can't make this up !!! It's the Farley Funeral Home. Every time I go in there, I see many people pushing walkers while looking like they're at deaths door. Sometimes I think that the funeral director is just sitting there waiting for someone to go into cardiac arrest. He also owns a cemetary that's only a few blocks away. He reminds me of a vulture, sitting in a tree, waiting for something to die so he can eat !!! The other day, he looked at me and smiled. perhaps we should find another gym !!!!

There is always that. Remember you are there to work out. I have found in city gyms that the dedicated ones notice the serious ones. Who knows. I am in a small town, there is one dork, who works for the town, that gets under my skin. In the cardio room he blasts all the TVs, on different stations. He is on furthest machine from them, with an iPod and rarely looks at the TVs. In the gym he is on ALL the machines at once. He does a circuit and does three or four tugs on a weight and then runs to another machine. There I vented.

Do they sell lifetime memberships, or by the month?

Perhaps a year ago, while waiting in the lobby of the local clinic to see my doctor, I noticed the (previously always closed) Senior Center was open. Going in, the cheerful senior volunteer greeted me, gave me some brochures and a coupon to a local gym for "first month half-price for seniors." That very afternoon, I went to check out the gym. The gum-chewing teenage receptionist wasted NO time telling me the coupon was good but they " have no programs, machines or advisers to work with OLD people." I could pay, join, and "take the risk that I would hurt myself." Needless to say, I did not join. Now, I've just returned from Tucson and attending la Fiesta de los Osos with my heartthrob (a much younger-than-I cub who adores polar bears, has been working out and has rock-hard, uh, muscles.) My English-heritage Cubby stands 5'5" and is built like a granite English Bulldog (GASP!... Bear feels faint!) Sooooo... after reading all this encouraging talk about Josh, Carroll, Greg and our super-hunk BluePride doing their gym thing, I'm making a trip to Crescent City tomorrow to visit the other (much smaller) gym in town. If nothing else, I need to build up my stamina to survive my next rendezvous with one HOT Cubby and condition myself for that, uh, musculature (Bear pants and drools.) Wish me luck!
