With much diligence on my part, I’m slowly losing a lot of the weight I gained during a year of working from my living room.
- It was nice to get off the busy highways everyday, but I was missing walking up and down stairwells and down long city streets to visit particular stores.
Often I would visit the park with my bicycle and would go on rides through the paved trails. But when I’m working at home exclusively, it’s easy to neglect making excuses to get out and get exercise. This is made worse by the fact that most stores started offering home delivery last year, so there were rarely legitimate reasons to actually leave the house. That’s why in part I was a little relieved when my company announced that it would return to in person working again this spring season. I started going to the gym again and have already lost 15 pounds with enough concentrated effort on my part. However, my gym membership is about to expire and I’m wondering if I should go to a different fitness center for a change. My existing gym is limited on weightlifting options. There are only two bench presses and they always seem to be claimed whenever I’m there. More often than not someone is already waiting off to the side for the current person to finish. I also want to join group fitness training classes, but my existing gym is limited. They have crossfit and yoga classes, but I’m not interested in either right now. I just want to learn healthy stretching and safe exercises to burn as much fat as quickly as possible. Maybe a different gym would be a better fit for my fitness needs.
