desperate measures
Posted in personal thoughts and tagged with cardio, exercise, gym, strength training, weight loss on 04/01/2008 02:22 am by GraceI’ve enlisted myself into a health club. I am doing this because of health reasons and I want to wear a bikini on the beach, just for once! lol!
It’s really convenient for me and my schedule because the gym is located inside a hotel near where I live. Jogging at the park was ok but I decided I would love, I mean, I needed to do strength training as well so the gym enrolment.
Exercise would consist of cardio (running on the mill) and weight training. It will be capped with a sauna (I love these hellish rooms) and shower before I head home. I have 4 months to gather up my act regarding my weight and it has come to a point where exercise is a non-negotiable part of my life.
This is not an April fool’s day joke.

Kailani,
But you don’t need any gym! I admire your body type! Me? I just stare at dessert and gain a pound!

Good for you! I really need some cardio work and have been thinking about a gym. And I have some health issues - a bad neck/shoulder injury that the doctor says will improve with certain tension exercises.

Hey, good luck!
I wish I could do the same but we’ll be leaving for KSA soon so signing up would be pointless.
