get fit

We finally did it. My neighbor and I joined a gym yesterday. We have a class tonight to learn how to use the equipment in our personalized exercise plan.

I was pleased at the attention to detail in developing my plan. I have limitations with ranges of motion and the speeds at which I can move. I won’t be using many of the machines, and I’ll be in slow motion on those that I do.

About this gym joining thing - it’s a catch 22: the more I exercise, the less pain I have AND I have more pain, the more I exercise. My goal is to tip the scale.

One more thing. In sampling an elliptical cross-trainer, the LCD kept flashing “WORKOUT PAUSED”. But NO, I WAS STILL MOVING!
This is going to be great. Really great...
