H...For a while, I could not get to the gym at all. Hated the idea of working out from home until I really got started. <BR/><BR/>Started with Gilad - retro Bodies in Motion and Total Body Sculpt mixed with a little treadmill and running outside with the dreaded stroller. Got a few weights.<BR/><BR/>Added some biking with the trailer, more treadmill. Inhale yoga a couple of times a week. Got some more weights and a pull-up tower.<BR/><BR/>Cathe Friedrich added. No more Bodies in Motion. Lots of running at the track.<BR/><BR/>Here's what I like: I can work out anytime. 5am, 11:30(when he used to be good at napping), after the kids get home from school, after the kids go to sleep. I would not have enough time to get to the gym and back to get the same kind of workout in, plus my ADD kicks in when I have to stand around waiting for any equipment/ mat space - I am too impatient for that. I do miss going to a class and hanging out with a few people at the gym, but my exercise/ activity is much more consistent now that I do it from home.<BR/><BR/>Now I could get to the YMCA (my favorite around here), but don't think the benefit would outweigh the cost right now. I really like my exercise routine as it is. If I'm really jonesing for a gym workout, I go to the YMCA on a day pass (maybe once a month or month-and-a half).<BR/><BR/>That money for a gym membership adds up for some great shoes, clothes, and extras that I wouldn't feel comfortable buying with the extra cost of the gym in our budget.artscihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098416743343754087noreply@blogger.com
