I did something yesterday that I thought I'd never do: I joined a gym!
My cousin, who's a 'gym- aholic', had been bugging me for ages to go, but I'd always turned him down.
So yesterday, with the best intentions in the world, I went to the gym...and today I'm really paying for it! My arms hurt so much that I can barely use my keyboard – (I'm sure the 'enter' key didn't use to be so hard to press).
While I was at the gym, I was thinking about all of you and all the words that we associate with working out; I was also wondering what you do to stay in shape.
Now it's your turn: can you give us some vocabulary that's related to exercise and what is your attitude to keeping fit? Leave your thoughts below!
By the way, I'm going again tonight so pray for me!
No pain, no gain...right?

Hi Chris. I go to the gym a lot of years and I understand your problem. Sometime I feel pain too. But you don't worry about it, pain is finishing in two days. You should continue to work out your exercises. I am sure that to have a beautiful muscle and to be in shape is very important but to have a good health and to be an active is more important.
Good luck.

My friends had bugged with me many times, I always turned them down too. So I did exercise at home with my husband. In the second day, i was paying for it. and we forgot it in third day.
It's very hard for us to stay in shape.

Working out
Hi, Chris. I'm glad for you. It's great that you have such a golden opportunity to keep yourself in good shape. I've also joined a gym. I attend our fitness-center 2 times a week doing belly-dance. I like my training a lot. I did aerobics and shaping earlier but they were only weightlifting and muscle-stretching exercises. And I'd wanted more... I always craved for dancing and graceful motion. I get it all now. Thank you for your revelation and new vocabulary.
nice

I am also seriously
I am also seriously considering joining a gym, I have a sedentary lifestyle and my health demands it. The bad part is that I've had several failed attempts so far and I quit sports just because I don't enjoy it that much. So this time I'll have some backup and I am interested in finding, maybe an enhancer would make me like sports more just until I get into my own rhythm. Do you guys has any experiences with that?
