Strength training

I have a love-hate relationship with strength training.  Sometimes I really want to do it because I love seeing what muscles I have.  I want to make them bigger and stronger.  Other times, I don't really want to do it.  It just seems too hard.  One of the main reasons for not wanting to do strength is boredom.  I have tons of exercise videos, but they are getting pretty boring to me.  I think if I had a gym membership and could use the machines, I would do more strength.  If I have to keep doing it at home, I might need bigger weights.  The 10 pounders I use now aren't quite cutting it. 

So, I can use the local health centre once for free.  I think I'm going to take advantage of that in the next week or two since both my husband and I are on summer break now.  If I really like it there, I might see if there's a way we can afford it monthly.  The good thing is that my school/job will reimburse us $100/semester for health related expenses.  That would cover about half of my gym membership.  The bad thing about this gym is it had bad hours.  It doesn't open until 5:30am and closes at 8:30pm.  It'd be better for me if it opened at 4am or so.

On another note I think I might get up early a few times during summer school teaching (the month of June) to run outside before work.  It sounds great in theory, but we'll see if I can make it happen.  I wouldn't have to wake up until 5am or a tad before that, which is the time I wake up during the school year to get around for work then.  So...it shouldn't seem THAT early.

Okay, I think I've rambled enough. 

Later!
