I finally joined a gym. I joined the Washington Sports Club on Capitol Hill. I've gone twice on a guest pass that my HR Director at work gave me. I didn't go yesterday, because I went to Modern in Georgetown for a Chinese New Years party, and I've been hurting all day.
The things that I like about the gym are the gym itself (since I get to work out), the fact that they have a massage therapist there (still have to make an appointment for one), and that there is a sauna there. I'm going to go in about an hour, but I'll admit, I'm pretty sore. I haven't been particularly active of late, although I was running on and off a little bit. Something that I noticed though, is that my legs seem to be in great shape. I've biked a few miles at the beginning of my workouts just to get going, and then done some more leg exercises. My arms however, are not in very good shape. They're quite sore, and I think it may affect my pool game :).
The last time I was a member of a gym was when I lived in New York, and that was four and a half years ago. I went to the gym exactly twice in the some 16 months I was a member. Hopefully this time will be different. I've already gone the same number of times.
I want to get into shape so that I look good when I go to Mexico in May. Yeah that's the real reason.
Oops. The gym closed at 8:30 today.
