So today I went to the gym for the second time, I am new to the gym scene and thus far, it is quite enjoyable. It is going to take a little getting used to all the "gym etiquette" that to so many is second nature. Yesterday, I went right to the 30 minute workout area to get my full body workout. To those not familiar with the layout of PF, this area has a series of machines that you use in a circuit. There is a light that changes from green to red. Green means start your workout at the machine you are on, stop when the red light goes on and move to the next machine. I really like this setup, I feel like I can get a pretty good workout in 30 minutes.
As I got off the first machine and went to the second, each person in front of me got up and grabbed a paper towel, doused it with cleanser and wiped down their machine before moving on. After each wipe, the paper towels went in the trash. Being new to the gym atmosphere, I wanted to abide by the etiquette so I followed suit, thinking every step of the way "there has to be a better way to do this".
Day 2 at the gym was today, instead of doing the 30 minute workout I opted for some treadmill time to burn some fat for 30 minutes. I didn't mind it, it felt natural. But, when I was all done I noticed that I was the sweatiest one in the place. Note to self, bring a gym bag next time so I can shower when done.
I started using My Fitness Pal again to track my food intake, and exercise. Next on my list is to get a fitness band to bring everything together. Any suggestions?
