I’ve been going a bit lately. Most days I elliptical and lift weights. It’s a good place. Once in a while I’ll bounce around a basketball. Haven’t used the pool yet, but that wasn’t a condition of this goal.
How I did it: For me, this was easy. I like to exercise, but I wanted to be sure I went to the gym enough times for the reimbursement at work.
The goal was to go 24 times in 3 months. The record I had printed today says I logged in 31 times, and that didn't include two initial visits before I got my scanny card. Therefore, I averaged 11 visits a month for 3 months. Considering I was out of town for many weeks, I consider this pretty good.
I do almost the same thing every day, but I do enough things and throw in variety that I don't get bored. Most of my gym trips consist of elliptical (25-35 minutes) and some lifting. I've even gone swimming once (if you know me, you know I'm terrible) and played basketball a few times.
Lessons & tips: Having a music player with good heavy stuff helps keep you entertained on the machines. It's also fun to watch the muted TVs in the distance. When I lift, I don't do the same type of lifting each time, and I throw in crunches and walk breaks. Occasional trips to the pool, hot tub, or basketball court break up the monotony.

I joined the center and used it today. Was the first time in a while I did a solid bit of cardio and some weights after. It’s a good gym, and the shower’s better than the one I have at home too. :)
It was a good first day. I’ll check this goal off provided I go enough times (24) in the first three months. Should be easy since many weeks I will go at least three times. I might not do three times this week since I started late and am going out of town this weekend.
I’ll be back in Thursday.

I like exercise, so motivation is no problem. My school reimburses part of the expense if I go 24 times every three months. I’d like to go more than that, but this is a good goal for starters.
