Planet Fitness Goal

I don't want to brag ... but I can still remember the combination to my middle school lock. I'm not going to prove it by posting it here. Instead, I am proving it by bringing it with me and using it when I work out at Planet Fitness.

Yes, the polar vortex has convinced me it is time to join a gym. That and my favorite doctor insists that women of a certain age should be working on our arm strength. I resisted for a year, then gave in. I even made it an official goal for the year.

I have been seven times now. Considering I was on vacation for a week and they were closed for snow and holidays, I'm off to a good start.

I make it a point to do the yellow 30 minute workout room. Reminds me of how my mom described Work Out World. The difference, though, is Planet Fitness also has showers, and much much more equipment. That, and I am the only person who I've seen use it as a circuit. Everyone else uses one or two pieces, or hides there on their cell phones hogging up the equipment.

I then move to the elliptical or a recumbent bicycle, or an outdoor run on those rare days the weather cooperates.

My goal is to try each piece of equipment at least once. Don thinks that is an overly ambitious goal. We'll see. I think I've tried about 15 pieces so far. The only one I don't plan to try is the treadmill.

How are your resolutions going?
