Linda and I joined the Las Vegas Athletic Club a number of months ago with the idea that we would walk on the indoor track when the weather outside in Vegas was either too hot or too cold. As the months have rolled by, we have actually changed our original idea into something that I never thought would happen. Okay, girls, you won't believe this; but yes, I am going to the gym and actually liking it. We started, as I stated, with an hour once a week walking the track. Then the lure of the group work-out rooms beckoned our attention a month or so ago and before we knew it, we started going to a pilates class on Monday evenings. That class is dang hard! Friday of last week Linda invited me to go with her to an early morning spin class. Melanie went to a spin class when she lived in Vegas, so I was aware of what they were although I myself had never joined in. Well, to make a long story short, Linda and I went; and we actually did the entire hour-long ride although I'm sure the tension on my bike wasn't exactly what the other cyclists were using. Steve and I this last week have been to the gym every day using the machines at the gym. At first they actually intimidated me; but with his help, I'm finding that I can do them as well. Of course, I always have to move the pin to the minimum weight, but I feel okay about that. You have to start somewhere, right????? I'm just glad it's summer, and I have time, and I have a great sister and a great husband to share this experience with.

I am glad to hear you post about the gym. I know my mom has certainly enjoyed taking classes with you :) Way to go Aunt Gayle!!!
You guys are doing great! Keep up the good work!
I'm proud of you mom! Classes really are fun and make you work harder too without realizing it as much. I wish I could get Cali to play at another gym's kiddie area...she will only go to the one on Rainbow. It would be fun to do a class together.
As long as we keep sweating together we may one day be hotties, who knows? I'm just glad to have someone to go with.
Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm impressed. I would love to be able to go to the gym everyday. Especially one as cool as yours with an indoor track. I'm glad you're enjoying your summer.
