I won a week at a fitness centre.

Now, don't laugh. Just because I've never done a fitness-center/gym sort of thing before doesn't mean I can't.

I wanted to check this place out, to see if it was worth joining when I can't exercise outdoors in the winter.

I had a tour yesterday, conducted by a woman named Tina who must have weighed about 60 lbs. I felt like an elephant.

The place looks good, though, and has neat classes. Which is of course exactly what they want me to think. Let's see what I think after an exercise session this morning.

So I'm going off to the gym now. I like saying that - but it doesn't feel like me!

I have to tell you - I didn't think I was a "gym person" either, but once you get going, it feels *really* good and you can't imagine skipping.

I was astounded how much I enjoyed it. I really didn't think it would 'take', but - my goodness, it's a wonderful feeling, all your energy flowing.

Something I should do, but know I won't. I have however, been seriously considering going to
Curves (http://www.curvesinternational.com/whatiscurves.asp)

I have two American friends and two local friends who go to Curves and they love it. They can't say enough good about it.

Unfortunately, there is no Curves close to me. I'd have to take a bus to go to the closest one - it's about a half hour walk away, which makes it an hour both ways, I just don't want to put that much time into it on a regular basis. It's nowhere near work either, unfortunately.... Otherwise I'd try it.

It sounds just about right for me. Now it just depends on what it costs ;-) There's one only a mile from my house.

Hey, go for it! Let me know what you think. It sounds terrific.

I guess I spent too long on the elliptical trainer yesterday - my legs are a little sore. I loved it, though.
