The gym in January

[dakcp2001]

I support all the New Years Resolutioners, since that is how I got started years ago. It inspires me to see so many people back at the gym. That being said, please please please skip the heavy perfume before going to the gym! And if I can hear your cell phone conversation over my IPOD, your too loud.

I now work out at home, but when I went to the gym five days a week I always used this month as my running and skipping the gym month. Give it until Feb though and it will be better. Just like college, after a few weeks people start "dropping" and you can find a parking spot again.

Gotta love the gym in January. Funny how it always calms back down to normal though in February. A lot of people find out the hard way you can't undo 5, 10, 15, or more years of laziness and inactivity in two gym sessions and then get discouraged. If you are going to go stick with it.

I know the parking lot at my gym has been packed!! I'm just going to give it a couple more weeks because the crowds have already gone down. It is just too cold to workout outside here and there is 3 feet of snow on the ground too.

I know what you mean! My yoga studio is the same way. This past week we've had about 40% more people and are really crammed in there.

I am thrilled that more people are taking up yoga, but unless they move us to a different building, it will be very uncomfortable. I have a feeling it will die off by February.
