I've realized that I hate going to the gym.
After switching personal trainers and facilities, and after taking some time off to finish up both the semester and my program at school (I'm a free agent...anyone need a writer or editor?), I returned to the gym this week. The old, familiar feelings came rushing back, but this time, I couldn't figure out why. Before the break, I was going regularly early in the morning (7am). Because I was going so early in the day, and because I had so much to do, I had thought that the anxious feelings were happening because I knew that I had so much to do in a day. I thought that my feelings of wanting to leave the gym as soon as I got there was because I wanted to get on with my day.
But now, I don't have that kind of time pressure. My days are free except for job searching...there isn't much of a timetable for that. So I shouldn't feel anxious as soon as I get to the gym. But I do. As soon as I get there, I want to leave. As soon as I get on the treadmill or rowing machine, I want to stop. It isn't because I don't want to work out. I think it's because I don't want to be there.
So I'm going to talk to Kerry, my personal trainer. I need motivation. Also, we might have to adjust my workout routine. I find that too much of it can be done from home using a balance ball and some dumbbells. And I'm not so interested in the treadmill/rowing machine for cardio. I'm going to talk to her about how I can fit swimming into my workout. Hopefully, some changes will rekindle a spark of interest in working out. |
