last year i joined jazzercise in an attempt to "become healthier." after 10 months, though, the only thing that feels lighter is my wallet. i've gone as often as i can, but because of schedule constraints, it comes out to only a maximum of three times a week (monday night, friday morning, and saturday morning). between my husband's work schedule (i want him to be home on time from work for us to eat dinner together before i can skip off to class), having-fun plans (day trips, weekend trips, and staying up later than i really should thereby making me too tired to wake up for class), and my own personal problem with inertia, many times it is reduced to just once or twice a week.
well, we got a mailer from costco recently that advertised 2 years for $289 at a gym in our area, so we decided to go for it. we figure 7 months of jazzercise will pay for 2 years at the gym, so we splurged and got two memberships -- one for me, one for him. he wants to go at least 4 times a week (i'm sure if he had his way we'd go daily, and he'll go again in the middle of the night). we'll see. i think it's a better way to go than jazzercise though.
it's cheaper.
it's more flexible, schedule-wise.
they've got childcare -- $4 for two kids.
i can shower and change there when i'm done instead of driving home in my sweat.
it's a whole-family affair -- instead of going alone, we all go together, although i can still shower in peace while the kids are in childcare!!
i already kinda' miss going to jazzercise class, though. the ladies there are nice, and despite my reluctance to sweat, i never regretted showing up to class once i finally got my butt out of the house and into the car.
so here it is: my new year's resolution is to work out at least twice a week. hopefully i'll work out more often, maybe three or even four times a week. (who knows, maybe i'll even enjoy sweating. ick.) i figure if i say it out loud and share it with you, i'll be too embarrassed to go back on my word. riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
