I Joined A Gym

Planet Fitness

It’s been sometime since my last workout update. Almost two years ago. Damn, that’s a long time. Too much time has passed and we need an update to my workout “progress”.

The last gym I went to closed down in December 2008. That’s three years ago. I’ve since bought a walking treadmill for home, but it doesn’t get used as often as I should be using it [it's in an awkward place that's not proficient for working out easily].

So they opened a Planet Fitness 5 blocks from my house. And they had a $10 a month special. Which I took advantage of on November 30th (one month ago).

Has it helped? Yes, I’ve gone to the gym at least 6 times since then and am going to push myself to go at least 3 times a week for the next few months, making it a true habit for me. It’s the only way I am going to get fit and in shape before summer arrives. And hoping my double chin and belly go away in the process.

    Awesome! And great that it is so close. You can walk there and count that as part of your workout.

    1. martymankins says:

      Yes, once the weather warms up some, the walk to the gym will be part of my pre-workout.

    That’s awesome! We joined a new gym too. The one we belonged to before was too much of a place to be seen than a gym. I love the new gym.

    Good luck with it, man! I’m pulling for you.

    1. martymankins says:

      Thanks, man. Much appreciate the pull.

  7. Congrats mate. Hope to read more about your progress. I got on the scales the other day and was somewhat less than pleased at the 11 pounds I’ve managed to put on since the last time I got on the scales. So that’s something that needs to be changed in 2012 Spencer ;-)

      I know how that is. A couple years ago, I won a contest for losing weight. That was 8 pounds and 3 new shirts ago. I need to do this. Thanks for the encouragement.
