Going to the Gym. NOPE!

I have never been excited to work out. I played softball in little league and all the way through high school, and never worked out with my teammates. It was not my thing. EVER. It is still not my thing.

As I’ve gotten older, which is just part of life, I’ve noticed that I am losing muscle mass and as active as I am on my days off cam, I’d like to get some of that back. 

Going to the gym is, and always will be, a big NOPE. I have no desire to go lift weights with society. Sitting on their sweat and smelling athletes foot in the locker rooms. No thank you. 

It’s not even the sweat and stuff, as much as it is making the time, out of my already busy schedule, to drive to a gym, then wait for machines so that I can get on with my day. No.

About 6 months ago I decided to try the resistance bands. They’re large rubber bands that help to build muscles. 

Since I have started, I’ve seen a lot of adverts showing how the bands can actually replace the free weights in a traditional workout. 

For me, I like that they fit in a basket, on a shelf, taking up very little room

Some of you, that enjoy the workout, might disagree with me on this, but another reason I like the bands is that I feel if I only do 10-15 minute workouts, I’m still benefiting. 

I will never experience the kind of workout high that some of you get from working out, but I am happy now that I have a routine of maintaining muscle mass. 

Go Team Workout!
