So, ennyhoo, I joined a second gym to supplement the Curves workout last week. This one is a very serious gym. It is located in an old grocery store space if that gives an indication as to how large it is. There must be 5 million dollars worth of equipment in there. On one wall alone there are about 20 treadmills. Thankfully, there is a "ladies only" room with a handful of cardio machines and a full circuit of strength training machines.
I have decided to go after 9 when the kids are settling down and King is at home to watch over their slumber. Last week I was able to go four times, and I just got to go again tonight. I decided after I did my "routine" in the ladies only room, that I would venture out into the large room with people who are already in shape and try out some for-serious-people-only ab machines. I went to the front desk and asked someone to show me how to do them.
OH. MY. GOD.
yeah baby!!!! now you're cooking with gas! now you know why they say, "no pain, no gain." you'll feel that for a while. but, from personal experience i can tell you that if you work through the soreness, it will go away faster. (plus, drink lots more water to wash out the lactic acid, but i am sure mom has told you that already!) then you get to a point where your muscles will get sore if you DON'T exercise.
