Yes, Drew and I have been working out together for the past week. He got me to switch gyms to one that is close to his house. The only reason I decided to do it is because I'm now paying $15 less per month and it's less than a 5 minute drive from work. So far, I'm really happy with the switch because I don't get tired on the drive from work to the gym, plus who doesn't like to save a bit of money. Overall though, the atmosphere is geared towards a younger crowd which I really like and knowing that someone else is going to be there is helping to keep me accountable during these first few weeks while I create a routine.
Needless to say, we are both unbelievable sore. The gym offers a free consultation with a trainer when you join and the guy definitely put us through a grueling hour of workouts. Drew had his a couple of days before me and the trainer asked him to a boot camp session as a part of his consultation. Drew was up against 2 ultra-marathon runners and an assistant trainer. The poor guy could hardly move the next day! He then joined me during mine, which probably wasn't a good idea. And, considering we are both competitive people who hate to lose, we worked our butts off. I can say though, I kicked butt at the plank. For the most part though, the trainer had us doing different drills/exercises during the entire time so it felt like a one-on-one session.
I'll keep you posted on how our gym experience continues. We took a spinning class together earlier this week and I'm really trying to get him to go to a yoga one with me. He's a bit hesitant right now, but he's starting to realize that it could help his sore muscles. We'll see...
On a positive note, our volleyball team finally broke our losing streak. We have two more games left before tournament play begins. One of the teams has a record worse than ours and the other is ranked first or second in our league. Keep your fingers crossed.
