Today At Gym - 08/28

I am totally addicted to the cardio machines at the gym - this morning I spend 80 minutes on them  again and loved it.

It wasn't always like this though, I remember the first time I climbed on the elliptical my knees was burning so badly after 5 minutes that I thought I would never ever get on that thing again.

From this experience I now know that the hardest part of gym is actually getting started. I dare to say that the first couple of months you may really hate the gym and will struggle to keep yourself motivated, but after a while it becomes easy, a way of life, and something you almost can't live without.

Session Focus	Rowing Machine (20 min), Arm Cycle (20 min), Stationary Bike (20 min), Elliptical Trainer (20 min)

Today I was particularly motivated and wondered how it was even possible that thoughts of quitting ever came into my mind. The truth however is that all of us sometimes feels down and perhaps even a bit depressed, and it is during these times that we may make "bad" decisions like giving up on gym.

I came to realize that going to gym, exercising and trying to become more healthy in general is an inherently worthwhile thing to do. Sure, slow progress (or an apparent lack thereof) might obliterate your motivation, but don't quit when you feel like this, rather try and push though and still go to gym, in no time you will be wondering how you could ever even think of quitting!

And besides, if you quit gym and go back to being a couch potato you are 100% guaranteed to have absolutely no progress...
