1/29 The Firm, Vol. 2, 60 minutes

Yankee, I work out at home. I have a gym membership, but I have a complex at the moment about going. It's complicated, but its a much bigger gym than the one I belonged to before I moved and I have a hard time hearing the aerobic instructors and have been reluctant to call attention to myself and let them know about my hearing loss and that I may need special attention. As I continue to work out at home and start to feel more comfortable with myself, I think I will get over that. At the least, I should get over there and use the machines and the treadmill. They have personal trainer services, too, I just haven't been impressed with the staff. It's very anonymous, if you know what I mean. I loved the little gym I belonged to before and cannot help comparing. There was this one instructor there who was so great. No matter where she was or what she was doing in the class, she made sure that I could see her face so I could read her lips. Now I live in a bigger city and like many big cities, the personal touch is missing. I have found nothing here that is like my old gym. I still need to stop whining about it and get back over there! :-)

Good job, Max, and it really does get easier. In fact, good job, everyone! Hermi, your chart is great.

1/29 -- 60 minutes Pilates workshop, plus -- 60 minutes Hip-Hop

Max -- Great job!!! I'm really glad you're enjoying it. (Great job everyone too!).

Hermione -- I completely understand what you're saying. I work out at a small, boutique-ish gym, and very much prefer it. I usually don't feel totally comfortable at large gyms, though I do sometimes work out in them when I'm traveling, etc. At my gym, everyone knows everyone (nearly), but the people who work out there aren't there for a big social scene -- it's more of a "family" thing. If I hadn't found this gym, I'd probably work out at a community center because I too dislike the anonymity and the often-mediocre quality of staff at many of the larger gyms.

Everyone likes different things, though. I have a friend who is very fit and athletic, and who I encouraged to come and check out my gym since I love it so much. She wasn't impressed because it's too small, there's only one elliptical trainer, etc. -- she much prefers the variety of a large place. So everyone's different.

Here's a link to my gym's website -- to see it, you click on the "Tour" section. The owner, Maureen, also teaches many of the classes and is an upbeat, friendly face who is always there and encouraging to everyone. (FYI, the Pilates studio has been significantly upgraded since the picture posted under the "tour" section). www.sweatcostudios.com

DOes anyone else have FIT TV? I just found it last night, I was super tired, in bed and there was this great workout going on....I was struggling to keep awake and my first thought was how it would be cool to tape a bunch of them and then have your choice at home......

I quickly browsed through to see the guide and there were A LOT of cool shows.

Has anyone tried any of them?

Danz, that is where I tape my Bodies in Motion show from. Check the program listings for the other shows, since sometimes they require a step or ball or other equipment.

Okay, I took today off. :-)

I did see my personal trainer today, though, and got my official BMI and metabolism ratings along with a food program for the next two weeks and a companion computer program to track everything in. I'm supposed to eat a balanced diet comprised of slightly more than 1500 calories a day, 50% (or less) carbohydrates, 25% fat, 25% protein. Any calories burned in exercise must be made up for with food to keep the caloric intake about even at that 1500 level. This will help keep my body from going into "starvation mode."

My legs are still quite sore and now my chest, shoulders and arms have joined the aching party after Wednesday's session. I sure hope the phrase "no pain, no gain" actually applies to my muscles!

Tomorrow starts the first day of the official food plan. I've been told to up my time on the exercise bike to 45 minutes and will also start that tomorrow. Next week, it's M-W-F with the trainer in addition to what I do at home.

Yesterday, my new Tempurpedic mattress got delivered, so at least all these aching muscles are being gently cradled to sleep at night! :-)

Max, it sounds great! I'm so thrilled for you! And everyone. I love coming here and how everyone is doing.

Yankee, thanks. :-) I checked the link. I wish I could find a place like that.

Anyway, 1/31, Kathy Smith, 60 minutes.

This is great, I just discovered I can use my DVR's picture in picture feature while I work out. I have no idea how technology does it, but I can work out with my recorded Bodies in Motion on the main TV and watch something like Trading Spaces on the little picture in picture square in the corner. Sure makes the workout more fun!
