Eating Intuitively

I’ve signed up with a new gym.  The old one was more than I needed.  The new one is more of a neighborhood gym, and it is within walking distance.  I can walk/jog/run to and from the gym.

Truth be told, I have not visited the old gym in a few weeks.  I went through a few sessions with a personal trainer to learn more compound exercises, then I trained, kinda, for “Climb Miami”.

I am excited and nervous about starting with the new gym.  I like that it is so close that I can walk to it.  At the same time, I am anxious about the new environment.  I had become comfortable at the previous gym; I’ll need to learn my way around this gym.

I am eager to get back on track with my strength building exercises.  Although I was going only once a week, I was seeing some benefit.  I felt like it was helping me transform my body.

I think once I am able to get back to the gym regularly and do only compound exercises, I will start to see some nice muscle definition.  It’s just one part of the plan to make sure I forge ahead to my weight loss goal.

What do you look for in a gym?  Are the exercise machines important?  Is it the weights?  Does your gym have classes that you attend?
