Joy at the Gym

I recently joined a new gym which included personal training sessions. They were running a special for 5 weeks at the beginning of January. You pay for 5 sessions and a buddy gets 5 sessions free. So I joined with my buddy (who is my husband), and it has been a lot of fun. We have since extended our stay for another 3 months. That should take us to May and gardening season.

We often wind up spending a whole lot of time there, like today, when two hours just passed us by without notice. One of us usually has a session and the other one will run/walk on the treadmill. Then we’ll try different machines to see if we have learned how to use them. Downstairs are massage chairs and a sauna room. The warmth of that sauna has helped carry us through this excessively chilly winter. 

I did a bunch of floor exercises and yoga poses at the end and did a bunch of cat-cow poses in honor of Terje’s post this morning that mentioned her exercising before writing. So here is my piece about afternoon exercising before writing. Thanks for the inspiration, Terje.
