Starting Out


Small right? It's tiny & not everything works. One stationary bike, two treadmills, some free weights, a StairMaster & elliptical machine that don't work, and a Captain's Chair. And a bosu ball. For two months I trained in here. Why? Well, remember items 1 -8? The cost? The need to supplement income? Yup, it happened. For two months my life consisted of the following schedule: M-Th: 6:30AM-3:30PM Work Job #1, 3:30-4:30PM Train in little gym, 5- 9PM Work Job #2, Home at 9:45 and blissfully fell asleep only to wake up and repeat again. On Saturdays I trained in Aquatic Park, so still getting up early and instead of working, I was jumping into the freezing SF bay (no complaints, I loved it). The plan was to do this for 3 - 4 months, but I put in notice to Job #2 after 6 weeks.
Two Lessons Learned Here:
1. Everyone has a limit and you need to recognize it before hurting yourself or getting sick.
2. No excuses to not stay active. Even if you don't have a gym membership, you can find a way to stay fit & be active to keep healthy. All about putting in the effort. Some where out there, there is someone busier than you who did the work out.
