2.5 points of fuel before the gym- I use only a teaspoon of PB.
I have been up since 7:30am but I didn’t start counting my steps until 10am when I slapped on my step counter ready for the gym.
0 steps at 10am, now at noon 5400! Sweet 
Our new gym is much larger than I have seen at any other apartment community. It has at least 10 treadmills, plenty of weights machines and 3 full sets of free weights so you basically never have to wait for anything. I love that. Plus it has a dedicated stretch/abs area that most small gyms lack.
Its on the second floor so it gets flooded with sunlight
One of my favorite features is that the treadmills have both iPod docks and TVs so you can choose which ever you are feeling like at any particular moment. Say for example you are watching a little Emeril…
Gotta love watching food shows when working out!
…and the pace is just not fast enough then you can instantly switch to your favorite most upbeat song to keep the energy level up! Mine happens to be Miley Cyrus, Fly on the Wall. Yes incredibly embarrassing since I am not even close to being a tween or even a teen anymore but still it works every time!
I am definitely going to be taking advantage of the great facilities I have here for no extra cost. I always feel great about not having to drive to the gym also. Somehow that always felt wastful and ironic to me.
On top of my warm-up, stretching and 3 sets of an arm circuit I did 30 minutes of brisk walking on the treadmill, just about 2 miles.
I snapped his sweaty shot on the walk back to the apartment!
I was so hungry by this point that I made a bake potato before I showered! Sometimes you just gotta eat NOW!
Plan for the rest of the day:
- look-up 3 new dinner recipes for the week
- look-up 1 new breakfast recipe
- plan meals for the week
- get my other 5000 steps
- vacuum and mop
That’s a huge gym for an apartment complex! That’s awesome!
GREAT WORKOUT!!
I agree, it’s hard to justify paying for a gym membership and driving there. I LOVE that the gym I teach for has a free membership for participants
what a great gym!! i’m so jealous!
Nice workout! The gym looks great, especially at no extra cost to you!
that gym looks awesome. when i move next i really want an apt gym because it’s so incredibly convenient. sounds like you had a great workout too! i love miley cyrus!!! her music def gets you in the mood to workout hard!
o.k i’m officially jealous of the gym you can use!
yay! a treadmill in actual miles not that metric suckage
