I've just joined a big fancy gym near home, mainly because they're open late and I can only go after 7.30pm. The fact all the weight lifting junkies come out at that time doesnt bother me.

I spent my early 20s going to co-ed gyms and I spent the whole time worrying that someone was a) checking out wobbly ass or b) laughing at my wobbly ass. It was horrible (think zebra constantly on the look out for lions). I felt so self conscious and, well, stupid.<br />Then I joined the lady gym, and I LOVE it. They have only a few mirrors. There are no uber-babes (well, a couple), everyone is just there to get their fix, have a little chat and go home. And the give you icey cold towels that smell like eucalyptus to wipe your face. It's the little things ...<br />Happy birthday xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-49251298017584386142011-05-03T06:12:37.597+10:002011-05-03T06:12:37.597+10:00I don't exercise but have been meaning to. yo...I don't exercise but have been meaning to. your story was nice to read, hopefully it's the encouragement I need to get my cardio on.

I don't have any kids yet. I think once we have kids I'll need to go to a gym to be able to work out with out being interrupted.
