Going to the Gym With Style

Post contributed by Alfredo Gaines

Yesterday I decided that I needed to get out of my workout rut. Every time I went to the gym I tended to do the same old thing. I would start off on the treadmill or the elliptical machine. Then after I had warmed up a little I would hit the free weights. Occasionally I would hit up some of the other equipment but this was my typical routine. In all reality, it's boring for me and the only reason I go is so I can fit into my jeans. A sexy body doesn't make itself, sadly.

Anyway, I went to the gym and decided to try a different approach. Normally when I went I just wore some baggy work out clothes. I had never felt the need to dress up for a work out. What was the point of sweating all over my good clothes? I didn't want to buy anything just for working out either.

Well, this time I decided I would actually do just that. I went out the night before and bought a few cute little outfits that hugged my figure. I bought a few of those wrist and ankle weights too. Anyway, I was looking so cute! I set my home security system (click here for ADT SECURITY online offer TX) before heading out and felt ready to hit it hard. Wouldn't you know, when I got there the place was closed! I couldn't believe it. I didn't even realize it was a holiday. Hah!
