Step 1 of becoming fit is now complete
Sep. 2nd, 2005 06:34 pmI took advantage of the client holiday today (Primus bless the UAW) and got a membership at the community recreation center. Most of my time there was spent simply looking at what the place was like and trying to overcome being intimidated by all of the fit people (Yes, there are plenty of incentives).
I still need to decide how I should proceed from here. I can sign-up for a personal trainer, try doing things on my own, or enroll in some sort of "boot camp" class for people who are just starting out with the whole fitness thing. A personal trainer sounds like a good idea, but I always find it weird to be dependent on other people. Doing this by myself probably isn't the best idea since I don't really know what I'm doing (I got an overview of this sort of thing in 9th grade, but don't remember much of it [What an effective class]). The "boot camp" class sounds like it would be a good idea, but I have to do some more research to make sure it's scheduled for a time I can actually attend.
It would probably help to define my goals first. I want to be able to say that I was fit for at least part of my life, actually have some muscle mass on my frame for once, eliminate the fat that has started to creep onto my abdomen, and I want to have decent legs again. My legs used to be acceptable because my previous jobs kept me moving around a lot (it also kept fat more or less at bay), but I feel like the past year at my current job has taken its toll on me physically.
There isn't much to say about my attempts at art right now. A cold I had earlier this week and worsening traffic near work sucked up most of my energy for a while. Now that I'm feeling better, I have a new bookshelf to assemble.
