I Work(ed) Out!!

Today was my first time working out at National Fitness Signature Club! I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked, but I can go back anytime I want :) After work and running errands, I ran home to change into some work out clothes and headed on over to the gym. 

All ready to go scan in with my key fob!

I checked out the ladies only section first. The view was great and added a calming presence to the room. This was my view while I was on one of the bike machines: 

After checking out the ladies only section, I ventured upstairs to the movie theater! I've been really excited about this feature at the club. I walked in to a dim light room with a huge screen display - exactly like a real movie theater! Instead of stadium seats, they have a huge selection of cardio equipment! The movie showing today was Sherlock Holmes! I went with the glider machine first because I thought it would be a good work out to keep me fit for hiking! I had the resistance set to 20 and spent about 17 minutes on there. Mind you, I haven't worked out in forever, so I didn't want to over do it! After the glider, I went with the traditional treadmill. I set the incline at 4 and walked a nice slow pace to calm my body from the glider machine work out. The movie certainly kept my attention, and before I knew it, I had already been in there 45 minutes! The movie is such a wonderful distraction. 

After working out and before heading out the door, I added some E-Cred (a/k/a e-credit) to my account. E-Cred is awesome because you can put as much money as you want onto your account, so when you want to buy a drink, smoothie, snack, or some apparel, you don't have to dig out your credit card or cash. It's great not having to worry about losing my wallet or having the hassle of digging it out of my bag from my locker. I picked up a couple of Quest Bars - everyone raves about them! I decided to go with the chocolate chip cookie dough and the cookies and cream. I haven't tried them yet! I'm waiting for the moment that I'm craving something sweet. I'll let you know what I think once I've tried them out!

Nom, nom, nom! ;p

So there you have my first (quick) experience working out at the gym! :)

Maybe I'll convince one of you to come check it out!
