I don't understand how so many inshape girls can say that the gym is their worst enemy or that they hate it. Right now I call the gym my best friend. Well, I did only start on 4/11/2011, butttt I have already lost 4 pounds and want to keep shedding. Am I wrong for liking the gym?

So who else thinks the gym is their worst enemy or their best friend and why?

    My worst enemy is the weigh in scale. The gym is okay, I guess.

    I love the gym! I know I'm doing something good for my body so why hate it.

    Exactly how I think! If you hate the gym it will just make the journey harder!

    The only reason I hate working out is because every time in the past that I have worked out I always overdo it and end up getting so incredibly sore that it takes a week to walk right again. So I have been afraid of the pain. Now I am trying something called moderation ;) I'm on day 8 of Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred and am loving it!

    Good for you! That's exciting! I wish I could hire a professional trainer so that they could push em to my limit but I just don't have the money and well, I'm kind of nervous ;/

    I Don't really know the names, but here are the descritions. I have been using the ellipitacl trainer increasing everytime I go, i go for 30 minutes now . The inner and outer thigh machine, 100 of each. I do the butt machice too and the one that you push the platform with your legs. I also use the arms one, where you push out with one arm at a time. holding a 12pound weight and doing a "penguin" move to get rid of my love hadles. the abs cruncher. 30 left and right sit ups. 30 leg ups. I also par take in classes like Zumba, Yoga and Kickboxing.

    Hopefully this is helpful.

    I have trouble making myself take a rest day. I do a modified Zumba, called dance it out, that's just hip hop.

    But as to why it's my best friend, its the part of my life I get most praised for, so I go, and go, and go. I do love it, and days I have no desire to go.. I go. I barely have motivation to go. It's just what I do. I find setting new records keeps me happy :D

    Some people just don't like getting drenched or being in pain intentionally LOL

    LOVE the gym. My worst enemy are the cupcakes that my stupid coworkers keep bringing into the office kitchen. I haven't weakened yet, but a fresh batch shows up every week or two.
