in Fitness and Exercise
I just started going to the gym and LOVE it. Any other keen gym junkies out there? I'm aiming to go 5 days a week which is pretty accomplishable seeing as i have uni 3 days a week and work 2 days. So excited

    I joined a gym last year and at first had to push myself to go but now I am addicted! :tongue: I usually can make it 4 days a week and sometimes only three, but love the weeks I can fit in all five weekdays!

    I'm a 5-7 day gym rat. I have found it is the only thing that keeps me on track as far as tracking my calories goes. It is part of my routine now...Good luck! :)

    I'm addicted to working out, but not necessarily the gym. I found that with the gym, I started making excuses after about a month - I didn't have to pay dues so it wasn't a big deal to be too tired after work or have too much to do.

    I bought hand weights, Jillian Michaels and found a 5k route in my neighborhood and I've been able to stick to it much better. I find that working out, period, helps me stay on my fitness kick. Because I can use all the working out I've done to justify when I fall off the bandwagon food wise (I'm getting better, I usually screw up about one meal/snack a week). I stopped beating myself up mentally and just make sure I work out 60 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Some days I go hard (run the 5k or double Jillian dvds) others I take it easy (4-5 mile walk with the dog, keeping a 3.5-4mph pace).

    Either way...it doesn't matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch!

    I'm at the gym Monday - Friday. I get sad on the weekends that I can't (relaxing the muscles) get to the gym.

    me too! Never thought it was possible but I am hitting the gym 5-6 days a week. A great gym session leaves me feeling sooooo good. Free childcare whilst I'm there makes it even better!

    That's heaps good, well done! I don't have the motivation to do at home workouts unfortunately. Neither does my bf and thats why we ended at the gym. I used to run outside but its only autumn here is australia and it is FREEEZING!

    the only thing bad about my gym is that they dont have classes. I love spin classes. But ultimately im doing this for my bf cause he needs motivation to go. He's doing a bachelor of policing and to get into the police force has to undergo physical tests and everything so he is trying to get fitter for that.. It's good when u have someone there who pushes you to go to the gym. Good luck to you all!

    Used to be a gym bunny which was good for getting me into exercise now I just run outside 3 day and do gym classes or workout dvds 2 days! No one but other gym bunnies believe me when I say it gets addictive!

    I am at the gym every single day. Sometimes several classes in a day. I also hike, run and exercise at home too. Addicted to exercising in general!

    I despise the gym.

    You can find me training 6pm - 9pm Monday - Friday

    Then 12pm - 2pm on Saturday
