Smiling at the gym
I can't believe how much the instructor effects the enjoyfulness (that propably isn't a word) of an aerobics class. I've been going to the same class for 2 weeks and then the instructor goes on vacation. I thought the class was pretty fun, and that's why I've been going. Then this perfectly nice instructor in substituting her and the class is near to becoming "tiistain tuska jumppa" (long story for that one). In English painful and boring. I just wasn't smiling like I do with the regular instructor. As soon as I realized the reason I tried to correct it. Tried smiling and thinking about how the instructor is a really nice person and deserves a chance from me. That sort of helped.
So in the end I was doing fine, but also looking forwards to next weeks class with the regular instructor.
All this again to say joining a gym is a really good idea. One can go to cheap aerobics, but gyms can afford the best professional instructors and they can motivate you in a way that some novice can't.
Going to lift some weights today and work at the apparatus. My favorite warm-up device is just begging for me to come use it. The cross-trainer. ;)
Oh, back to work...

I might need to join a gym too if it is so much fun... Though probably not here.
I did not notice before you were actually writing in the blog. I have to add it to my internet list of things to check...:)
I'm hungry at work and an hour to go till lunch. Though I could go now if I really wanted to.
i hate the gyms (it sort of shows). they're usually full with people whom think they're in better shape than me, they look better than me, they are getting out of life so much more than me. and usually are right in everything they bless you to chitchat with.
bah, it's propably all true, but i'd much rather run around in the woods or lift logs in my shed than actually join a gym group. and hey, i'm usually hypersocial and 100% self-confident. sort of weird.
maybe sports just ain't for all of us, but I do think YOU are better off since you've found a way to (make yourself) enjoy them. ;) congratz.
