MiiFitness 2 or what to take to the Gym

So as part of my efforts to loose weight and get in shape I looked at the fitness clubs in the area. I chose the Coyotes Fitness Center three miles from my house. My main reason for choosing this one was the nearness to my home and work. Another plus is the 24 hour availability from Monday to Friday.

So on my first day of working out I learned some lessons about what you need to take to the gym: A padlock and towel, (if the club doesn't offer them,) your shower things; shampoo, conditioner, soap, shower shoes, and a poof or washcloth. Clean clothes to wear out of the gym, a water bottle to drink out of as you work out and a gym bag to carry it all in and out.

Of the list above I forgot the shower shoes. And if your gym has a pool I would add swimming suit and if you swim a lot goggles. As for clean clothes I'm going to start carrying clean work out clothes to wear on my way out of the club. Plus that means that if I can get an extra work out in I have everything I need in one place.

I had a complementary hour long appointment with a personal trainer scheduled on June third, that got messed up but my new appointment is on the fifth. That will be fun especially convincing him that I don't want to work with the weights until I'm in better condition.

I'm going to try and hit the gym two to three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I will be working out with the Wii, like I describe in my last MiiFitness post, on my off days.

So far everything is working just weighed in at 331.0, w00t, 2 ponds from my first goal.

Keep up the good work! Once you get into a routine it will be quite easy!

Good luck, and congrats on your progress! It sounds like you're taking a sensible approach, rather than trying to do everything at once and injuring yourself.

I just started with Weight Watchers yesterday and posted my weight and blue jeans size on my blog. I'm hoping to keep myself honest with weekly posts. Next week I'll add some exercises to the mix.

Talk to you on Twitter! (I'm "cbahm" there.)
