Gym Going Well

I have been really consistent about going to the gym and watching my calories. I use a tracking app on my phone. I think I look like I have lost some weight. I may get out the measuring tape this weekend.


I tried a new class at the gym last night called PiYo. I did really good. I liked it because it had lots of moving and bodyweight stuff to get heart rate up but then had slow yoga stuff and stretches in between. I think it will help with soreness.


Then I did 10 mins on the rower machine. My gym has the really nice ones with a water wheel inside. It's my favorite piece of equipment! It always helps my busted shoulder so much.


I also do trx and a shadowboxing class.

Your gym has alot more going on them my guy does. Here we have a few airobic dance classes and that's about it, plus the regular weight machines. I like going in the evening, running on the treadmill and watching the classes in the next room which is all opened up, and I don't know how they can keep going with all their body parts moving constantly. That's something I can't do because I spent way too much time focusing on certain muscles to make me a better runner and that was a mistake.

Here is some motivation for you:

Yuck I hate running lol. One of my legs is shorter than the other so my running form is bad. Plus too much bouncing.

You would probably have to get lifts in the shoe of the shorter leg....maybe see a podiatrist or some other specialist who can come up with a solution that works for you..

Yeah yeah I've done that. I see a chiropractor periodically too. Still doesn't help my running form.
Personally I think running is bad for people. I can't stand it. There are ways to get cardio that don't hurt.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
