Suzey’s Halfie: Joined a Gym
Well kids, it’s official. If I don’t work out now, I’m wasting $90 each month that could be going to a better cause (such as my dress for Law Prom that I no longer am able to afford). ((FYI… I’m basically working extra hours at APAC when possible so I can afford it…)) So, I joined Life Time Fitness, which is an up-scale fitness facility with locations all over Minneapolis and Saint Paul and the neighboring suburbs. Some of the benefits include: tennis courts, top-of-the-line equipment, indoor AND outdoor pools, racquetball and squash courts, basketball courts, etc etc etc. You get certain things for free as part of your membership. The gyms are fully equipped with private restaurants (you have to swipe your card to get in) and hair/nail salons. The locker rooms are loaded with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, Q-tips, cotton balls, hair dryers… Basically everything you need can be found in the gym. So I’m a member. My first official day working out as a member was Tuesday (yesterday). I walked through the Minneapolis skyway from the law school to the gym. The stair-stepper at the gym consists of actual stairs that move… I did that for 15 minutes and then moved on to the treadmill for 15 more minutes. I burned a total of 330 calories, then walked back to school in time for my second class of the day! Now I’m just hoping that this doesn’t turn into an epic waste of $$$!
