sold my soul

To the fitness gods. I got a gym membership. Now I've made a deal to pay 61 euro every month for the next year to work out. I always thought that gyms were really expensive and well they are, but I am beginning to think it's worth it. I haven't actually been to the gym yet, but on to tour I took it looked nice. Lot's of hairdryers and mirrors in the locker rooms and they promised I would always fit into the classes I wanted to go. This was my biggest problem with the university gym, all the best classes were always full a week ahead. Now I can just go whenever, since there are aerobics and other classes including capoeira ahppening all day long. all you have to do is get a ticket like an hour to 20 min in advance and be there. So anytime Jaakko goes out with friends for guys nights out without warning, I have something more constructive to do other than sit at home watching TV.
Today I'm gonna go to a wimpy back exercise class along with a stretch and relax class. Directed relaxing. I'm sure it's the only way to go. :)
Additionally I'm beginning to think I might be a good runner. as long as I don't have to move to do it. And that can be also done at the gym. Just play music and run. And when you're done you can just get off the belt and be right next to the streching place and showers and sauna. Don't have to get up those stairs home and more importantly if you get bored in the middle of a jog you just have to run home. Horrible. ;)
For tomorrow I have to decide on some goals for myself as I am meeting with an istructor to compose an exercise program. Basically I just want to get back in shape and end my back pains. I don't know if that's a specific enough goal. I suppose. And mostly I am just after something to spend my free time doing.
Maybe I'll start writing a fitness blog. That might be interesting.
Gotta get back to work now...
