About time

I finally did what I've been saying I was going to do since this semester started. I joined the YMCA. I have been putting this off for so long. I made up so many pointless excuses. My main excuse was the money issue. It's only $26 a month for a student and I can quit whenever I choose. How dumb is that excuse? All I would have to do is not by an outfit that month or go out to eat. It's simple to save that much. There's also so many benifits to being a member of the YMCA. You can use it at all six of the local YMCA's. I will more then likely just go to the one on Republic Road or the Downtown one but still it's nice to have options. Members also get a nutrition coach that helps prepare you for your new healthy lifestyle. You can go to all the classes for free. I'm really excited about that one. I want to do yoga, palates, and any ab classes. I can't wait to start those. You can tell I was excited about joining because as soon s my mom left Springfield to head home, I got my stuff ready and left for the gym. I decided to go to the downtown one because I was familiar with it since I had already done volunteer hours there for my Sociology class. I instantly ran two miles on the treadle which I'm surprised I did because normally It wears me out and can barely finish one mile on the treadmill. Then I went to the second floor where the weight training equipment is. I did ab exercises and leg/hip exercises. I felt really successful with my day and decided to relax. Then I decided I would try out the sauna so I could not only relax, but sweat some more out. I got so hot in there and then decided to jump in the pool to cool off. I just love all the choices I have there. Once I got out of the pool I decided I was done and took a shower there and came home. I'm very pleased with my choice of joining the YMCA.
