Yesterday evening was the first day back working at the gym. I can't really say I work because I usually just sit there, wait for people to come in and sign up for membership or greet existing members. But yesterday I decided that I was going to workout while I wait for the time to pass, good idea right? haha.
I figured I better start off slow and hopefuly keep myself from getting discouraged.
Start: Level 1, intervuls, 20 mins. on the bike.
Sure enough I had eight min. left and a potental new member comes in. So I hopped off the bike gave him the pitch and he signed up. Yeah!!
Next, while I was siging up the new member one of the members I had signed up this past spring came in for his regular workout. His reason for starting at Snap was that he had had a major heart attack last year and was now cleared to start working out regularly-slow and stready. He told me that he lives and works near so it work well for him to hope on his bike and come to the gym for strength training. He is a super talker like me so we had a good visit when he joined that day.
I was really excited to check in with him after signing up the new member. I grabbed my phone and water bottle jumped on the elliptical next to his treadmill and " Hey hows the heart doing"! He started to tell me about things going well for his heart, that he was coming to Snap and going to classes at the cardiac center, met some good people to workout with there, stress at work, the doctor telling him that he lost to much weight to fast, and that he was asked to speak at a conference for people recovering from heart attacks. Like I said a huge talker like me and before you know it I had done another 20 min of cardio and it was time to go home. (Bing light on.....need a work out buddy)
So to wrap up the day I had a great workout, good conversation to keep me moving and a peanut butter and jelly for dinner when I got home with cantaloupe. Now I just need to keep up the workouts and also get back to those Pilate's classes at Soulista.
