Gym Report - exercise

[susandennis]

I think my exercise mojo has left the building.  I did not want to go today and once I got there, I did not want to be there or do the exercises.  I'm still cool on the treadmill but nothing else strikes me as interesting.  I need to figure something out or it could endanger my treadmill mojo.

I still have Nadia every other week for several more months. I've paid her already so there's no getting out of that.  Maybe I'll work out of the anti-exercise funk by then.  I have about a year's worth of various exercises in the notebook I've been keeping.  Some I don't hate.  Maybe I need to put together my own program of exercises I don't hate so I'll at least ensure I get there and do something on my exercise days.

Tomorrow and Friday is treadmill and Thursday is Nadia so I need to start planning for Saturday.

But right now, I need a shower.

Is the problem that you hate the exercises or that you're not enthused about being at the gym? Maybe a change of scenery would help - some kind of outdoor exercise, or even a class at another gym or something.

Oh, excellent question... I think it's that I hate the exercises. But your change of scenery idea is excellent. I now do exercises 3 days a week. Since it's no longer hot out, I could swap out at least one of those days for a walk down the waterfront... I think that sounds like a good plan for Saturday...

What a great idea! Thanks for planting it!

Maybe you should list the ones you really love, the ones you like, and the ones you can't stand, and why if you know...and then give it to Nadia. She may be able to find a pattern and get you some more exercises that you do enjoy.

That's another great idea! I've been trying to figure out why I like some and not others - what is it that makes the difference and I have not come up with anything good. Turning it over to Nadia is a good idea. Thanks.

Hope you find your exercise mojo soon. I should lend you mine, I need to be resting up to get rid of my sore throat but I cannot seem to miss a gym session. If you took my mojo for a few weeks we'd both be better off. :-)
