Hitting The Gym Again… Finally

I sort of stopped going to the gym that often the second half of last year. I don’t really remember why I stopped going. I think it was in part that the company I worked for moved into a new building that had a small gym that we could use on the first floor. Therefore, I didn’t really feel the need to use my 24 Hour Fitness membership. But then again, that didn’t mean that I went to the gym in the building that often either.
I started going to the gym within the building a couple times a week or so. Boy is it boring there. No TV, no music, and barely any people! It was hard to keep motivated there. Then I tried going down to the gym for about 15 minutes during lunch to lift some weights. My flexibility definitely took a hit due to this change of exercise regimen.
Now that I work just a few blocks away from another 24 Hour Fitness, I started to go work out after work again. Every so often I change up my exercise routines. This often happens after a break from exercising or a change of goal. I feel this is one of those times.
I used to do dips and pull ups a lot before, but since have neglected such exercises. I will try to revisit those. Further, I will reincorporate balance and stability training. We’ll see how it turns out.
I weighed myself at the gym today, and to my surprise, I think I registered a pretty high weight of 157lbs. This is out of my typical range of 152-155. I should try to start keeping track of this and my workouts going forward.
