Running With The Big Dogs-Confessions Of A Gym Rat

I love working out, but, It was not always that way. When I first joined the gym several years ago, I would just come in and log my 4 miles on the treadmill and go home. Game Over! I never had the guts to venture into trying something new. I followed the unspoken gym rules: Women used the stationary bikes or went to Zumba Class, and the guys got to use the Weight Room, Resistance Training and TRX equipment. I must admit, I was a bit intimidated by all this, and frankly just plain scared to try something new! Dang- It might be hard!

Little by little, I watched others in the Weight Room, and soon mustered up the courage to join them.
Today, I think nothing of finishing my run, then hitting the weights, even if I am the only female there!
I have no desire to have a " six pack" or bench 250 lbs, but I am not afraid to venture into "unchartered territory" to stay fit and be ready for Bikini Season!

I have taken next week off to again try something brand new. My first three WA websites will be set up and go live! Gulp!! Before going onto " Yikes Mode", I made sure to watch Jay's video tutorial on that subject. ( For those new to WA, Jay is the resident technical wizard that is in charge of video tutorials known as WAbinar's here at WA.) Thanks and a big shout out to Jay for making these for us! I will nominate you for sainthood at my earliest chance:) Wish me luck as i venture once again into unchartered territory.

Something tells me I'm gonna love it!

Hi Sammy, whishing you the best of luck with your websites. Unchartered territories were to be discovered by those brave enough to venture into the unknown and share their findings with the rest of the world, and I belive, your one of them. Keep us posted, I would love to hear more...
Good luck,
Val.

Hello Sammi
Dale Carnegie said something interesting . It will help you to venture into uncharted territory next time:
" A person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from the shore."
Best Wishes

Hi Folks, i have just had my first article published in Street articles, its exciting for me as writing was never a strong point with me, but it is fun. Have a read if you have a few minutes, street articles, Motorcycles, affairs of the heart. thanks, Mark.

Great post Sammi - alot of people who chase wealth forget or do not even realise that thier health is the most prized possession of all, so good on you for living such a positive life!. I agree...Jay is THE MAN! - he cracks me up sometimes with his humour..a very real person with a natural talent to teach!.

Best of luck going live! - I have a good feeling that you will be soaring on the internet...

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement and caring spirit!!

Many Blessings!

Hi hear you Sammi ... I started working out at a gym 4 years, same fears now I bench press with the boys!! I look forward to checking out your websites. I've just finished no. 4 - my new venture is blogging! I love the excitement of something new. I recall a fellow gym member's look of fear when all the equipment had been rearranged and her commenting about not liking change. My reply was it wont be change in a week!

Thanks Girlfriend!! I will let you know when I have the sites up! I appreciate your opinion!

Sammi:)

Hi there, good luck but I doubt you need it with such a determined attitude, go for it!
Regards
Hudson
