Let's get physical

I've started to really get into the gym again this week, after about two weeks of just going in and doing some pithy cardio workouts. It's almost summer so I'm thinking what better reason to get into shape. I mean, you don't wanna be going to the beach with a flabby belly or like, skinny arms and stuff. It's not gonna get you anywhere, if you know what I mean. At the moment, this is my aim:



I'm not there YET. Woah, I have biceps... LOL

Anyways, I went to the new Fitness First over at Norwest on Monday. Driving past it every now and then I was expecting a huge gym. I go in, and it's pretty small actually but it's got everything I need which is good I guess. I can see this gym getting extremely packed during busy times just like the Castle Hill gym so it's best to go in when it's not too busy.

I feel really intimidated everytime I go in though, especially while doing the free weights. It seems like all the muscleheads are lifting like, barbells and dumbells a million times the size of mine. I feel like doing my weights over at the silent end of the gym away from everyone, or next to the fat chick that does a smaller weight than I do. I'm pretty sure, in due time I'll be pulling them in like the big boys. One day.

I've ran out of protein shake too, and those things cost like a million bucks. Need to replenish my stock tomorrow I guess, there goes another $80.

lol that pic is hilarious but do you really wanna get that big. I hear you though. I've been going to the beach last couple of wednesday and my love handles aren't very flattering hahaha. Even though i suck my stomach in they don't seem to dissapear. So i'm with you in hitting the gym hard this summer, I just really hope I follow it through. I can say it but may not do it, big problem hehehe.

So Norwest one is small ey. What other facilities do they have? Did they manage to build a pool?

Nah, no pool... just basically cardio and stretch/abs section upstairs. Weight machines, free weights and changerooms downstairs.

It's not small small. its decent size. It's double storey but its probably the same area size as Castle Hill.
