It Feels Good to Exercise

10-Mar-2017 • San Francisco, California United States

After a month long absence, I finally made it back to the gym this week. I actually went three times. First time last Tuesday, then yesterday, and finally today. I must say, it feels good to work out.

To be honest, I have long wanted to get the flab off my waist. I am a slim guy, but, I want to tone my body. I should have done it a long time ago but as the cliché goes, Better late than never.

I actually wanted to sign up with Equinox at the Four Seasons Hotel last January. The place looked absolutely fabulous. It looked like a spa. But, the gym membership was quite steep and the cost of the personal trainer, even more so. I had to settle for a less chichi gym to work out in and so far, so good. My trainer is a wonderful young man and he is quite patient with me.

A fellow teacher advised me to go right after work and I think the idea is absolutely wonderful. Had I not signed up for the gym and just worked out at our condo's tiny workout room, I would have found excuses not to go. Now, I see other people working out and their beautiful toned bodies motivate me to go often just to be like them.
