I've never belonged to a gym... too much testosterone, from EVERYONE. I work out at home. One night I woke up to the TV being left on - it was infomercial time. And Turbo Jam was being rammed into my subconscious. So I bought it. And it's been the best thing EVER. You feel like an un-coordinated freak of a loser for the first while (it's very choreographed) but hell... I've lost 20 lbs and am very toight. Toight like a toiger. I would totally recommend it. Kudos to you for making the effort at a real gym though! You're brave!! xo You know what? I’ve never belonged to a gym… too much testosterone, from EVERYONE. I work out at home.

Best-case, I'd get the feeling that all those machines/gadgets are FUN and/or INSPIRING, especially when the only other people in the gym are other local unfitties, knowingly nodding and winking at one anther in this typically all-but-abandoned gym. Not so this day! Agreed; I’d rather have my cardio outside, in nature…

You do not need a gym and it really is the WORST place to start. Nothing is more demotivating than the hormome ladened atmosphere than the local gym...talk about reverting to highschool emotions! Find a hill, walk 5km, trek through snow. Just sweat for 40 mintues, it doesn't have to be in a gym. I got fit on a set of stairs near my home.
