Due to the furloughs, I cut back on everything that was more of a "want" versus a "need."
One of those things was my gym membership. My company has a wellness program, so the monthly dues to any 24hr fitness is $29.99. I use to go consistently, but had cut back from going 5 times a week to barely once week or even less. (Paying for something I no longer was utilizing didn't seem profitable in my pocket, so I cancelled the membership).
Well, it's been about 8 months now, and I definitely do miss the routine of getting on the treadmill, eliptical, and a few other exercises that really allowed me to "get my cardio on."
I received an offer in the mail from 24hr fitness (wanting me to come back). 3 good deals that definitely are an incentive that I'm seriously considering.
Yes, I could get on my bike, or take walks throughout the day, but I like the gym because there's no set time to go (24 hours is just that). The variety of equipment makes the time go by, and of course I have my I-pod playing upbeat tunes that can keep me going on the eliptical for hours (well almost).
Well, I have until the end of the month to decide.
But until then and even after, I'll be on the Wii Fit, walk when I can, and get back into my old routine to live and be a healthier "ME!"
When it comes to exercising, are you an indoor or outdoors type?

Very much an outdoors type. My husband, myself and our two dogs walk anywhere between 1 to 3 hours daily, taking in the beautiful views, picking and munching on almonds or blackcurrants as we walk. We also like to do stretching whilst we're out and inside we do floor excercises but we do like to keep in trim 'cos it makes us feel good and we have to walk the dogs anyway!!

Hello Gloria and welcome to blogging and to my page.
I'm currently on a 30 day free membership to 24 hour fitness. It's been great getting back out there and on the exercise equipment and taking a few aerobic and dances classes.
But I'm also back out playing Tennis and Bowling when I get a chance....
Thanks for your comment, and I will venture over to your page... (smile)
Take care.

I prefer to get my exercise outside.
I am 6'2 and this year I actually got up to around 212, I'd never weighed that much before. I started walking around the golf course that borders my backyard and during the summer I lost approximately 35 pounds. I also altered my diet to exclude fried foods...drank more water too. Right now I weigh about 178.
It really wasn't that difficult to drop the weight, it just took a lot of will power.
