sunshine0221's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fitness Quest Fitness Quest My work buddy and I decided last week that since we spend all day sitting on our butts (which aren't getting any smaller incidentally) that we should begin an exercise program. We discussed our options and realized that since we have the self-discipline of maybe half a person between us, some kind of formal program would be best. We went to Jazzercise last Monday morning. Pros: Kind of fun Cons: Owey knees from kneeling on the world's thinnest exercise mats while doing floor exercises. Next we checked out Ladies Workout Express. Pros: No grunting, sweating men lifting twelve times their body weight. Cons: In order to get the best price - a $99 registration fee and $29.95 a month YOU HAVE TO MAKE A THREE YEAR COMITTMENT. The hell?? I've never had a job or a relationship last that long, no way am I signing up for three years of anything. While we were there, the owner was telling us about some girls who had worked out for 2 � hours straight. And that they burned 1100 calories doing it. In what universe is it fair that working out for 2 � hours burns 1100 calories, when you can easily consume 1100 calories in 2 � minutes??!! Our third exercise experiment was Curves. When I called Work Buddy at 7:45 to see if she was ready to go, she sleepily said she was still in bed and I should go without her. It was pretty similar to Ladies Workout Express, but with fewer machines, and a small, fairly claustrophobic windowless workout room. Pros $79.00 to join, and $29.99 a month with a year commitment. Cons Commitment. Again. So I am not sure what I am going do, but I am sure that I am going to do something. And I promise to share whatever I do, in detail, so much so , that you will be begging me to write another entry about my cats. 6:22 p.m. - January 22, 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
