Simille's Journal, 07 February 2009

Yeah! Today DF and I went and picked up a Weslo Air Strider that someone had listed on Craigslist for $20. I have been wanting some piece of fitness equipment in the house so that I wouldn't have any excuses for sitting on my butt. I have a real mental block regarding exercise, but I'm hoping that if I have a piece of equipment in my face ALL the time, I will be more motivated to use it. I have also mentioned on here many times that I feel self-conscious when I workout at the fitness center, so I'm hoping that some in-the-house equipment will help me overcome this stumbling block. I know that my paranoia is a product of my own mind, and that I need to get over it, but I put so much stress on myself about needing to overcome it that it then makes me even less inclined to go and also makes me want to eat in order to overcome the crazy feelings I have. One day, I hope, I will be able to approach fitness in public with a better attitude, but until then the Air Strider will just have to do. It seems to work well, and I like how it works the arms as well as the legs. At this point I am most interested in burning calories, but I am hoping to pick up some resistance bands soon so that I can begin toning. Can't wait to update y'all on all of the great exercise I'm getting in!

Good luck with the Air Strider. Sounds like a plan! I understand completely about your not wanting to work out at the gym. I am that way too. Exercise is a "private" thing for many of us. Even though we walk on plublic streets and roads - there are no mirrors or already fit and trim intimidating Super Bods there. Some people really do enjoy the gym scene though. Have a great day!
