I think I have GYM ANXIETY. I don't even know if it can be classified as anxiety but I can tell you that there is a part of me that seriously does NOT want to go to the gym.
I know, I know. Sounds like an incredibly convenient excuse NOT to go to the gym.
But every time I plan to go to the gym, it's like something in me comes up with tons of reasons not to go. Then my heart starts beating faster and faster at the mere thought of going to the gym.
I keep telling myself that as soon as I make going to the gym a h a b i t , maybe my "anxiety" will go away.
And it usually happens, that after I go, I feel rejuvenated from the workout and I forget about the "anxiety" I had earlier.
I need to delve further into this weird issue of mine. (Like I don't have enough problems!)
Anyway, today I went for StretchFit (SF). Which is basically a stretching exercise class filled with yoga type moves but a little easier (or so I think). I planned to go to Kickboxing after but my knees and arms were a little shaky. The workout didn't leave me KO'd, but I figured it's probably better to take it a little easy in the beginning. Right?
So after SF, I did 25minutes of power walking on an incline on the treadmill.
Lesson of the day: I need to bring my headphones EVERY time I head to the gym in case I just want to walk on the treadmill. Seriously. The only entertainment I had was texting while exercising and when that died off, it was some strange Chinese period drama about six teachers, a demoness and a dude, who seems important, who is in love with the alleged demoness. Yea - WHAT?
K that's it for today lovelies! I think tomorrow I will go for SF again and then do some gym exercises - exercise bike and treadmill sound good to me right now :D
If only I could play Plants vs Zombies while exercising. Maybe I should get a good audiobook?
HMM.
Peace lovies!
Til the next post!
