After work yesterday my sister and I went to Golds Gym to work out. It was our first time being in there and we were both a little scared of what we might find inside. It wasn’t bad at all. I was actually very surprised by the way it looked, and even more surprised that I didn’t see any homos. What’s up with that?
There were a lot of scary people in there though. Golds Gym seems to be where more of the muscle freaks go to work out, and there were a few in there. However, they did have a ton of bicycles, treadmills, and elliptical machines, which I love.
I learned that I am not coordinated enough to walk on the treadmill and drink water at the same time. I didn’t have an accident, although I really did fear that the instant the water bottle hit my lips I was going to fall backwards, slide off the treadmill, and spill my water all over myself right there in front of everyone. I don’t know why I thought I could drink and treadmill at the same time. I can barely walk on non-moving surfaces and drink and the same time. I’m just not that coordinated.
Yet, that didn’t stop me from trying again during the even more difficult elliptical. Yeah, I’m sure I look seriously retarded trying to drink and do that at the same time. I eventually just had to stop to take a sip. I don’t know why I try to keep moving while drinking, it’s not like I’m all that dedicated, and losing those thirty seconds to drink something is not going to kill me… yet not stopping to drink and getting tangled in a machine sure could!
We worked out for a while, but I didn’t really work out hard. It would take me a while to figure out all the machines and which ones do what I want. We mostly did cardio last night, which is always easy.
After the workout Xoch came over and we watched My Life Without Me, which was ok, but nothing to spectacular. It was kind of slow and sad.
Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it. I have a two hour lunch planned with Gina, and I’m excited about that!
Birds of a Feather…. I was just up at the YMCA. I Completely stop on the elliptical to drink, I SO would fall off if I didn’t. Like you, I am not the most coordinated, and nearly fall over walking on nonmoving surfaces too.
It’s pretty hit-and-miss on eye candy and/or the gays showing up. Since I went mid-day today, I got to watch the Gerital Brigade doing their chair aerobics. CRACKED my shit up. Nearly fell off the elliptical then too.
