Joined gym again

Finally we signed up a joint gym membership again after quitting it two years ago due to my pregnancy. The plan is like this: I go Mon/ Fri 4pm, the days when I'm not working, Terry will come home early at 4pm to babysit Daniel and settle him to sleep. He goes Tue/Wed/Thur straight after work. I work 8am-4.30pm on these days, back about 5.15pm to pick up Daniel. Terry will go to work a bit late on these days to drop off Daniel. I am aiming to do 1.5 hours work-out on each gym visit.
Had my first gym session since pregnancy this afternoon, it felt really good afterwards. It meant to be my induction session, because i was with them for four years before, the instructor didn't bother to induct me. What he did was just quickly input of my medical details and the program I wanted into the computer system and gave me the tag key. I did bike, treadmill and stepper today on a lower resistance level than I used to do. After 30 minutes, I was very sweaty but felt really rejuvenating. Told myself not to overdo it on the first day, also worried about Daniel's evening routine, I didn't do weights after finishing my cardio program...

The cost for the gym membership wasn't that bad, £50 joint fee, £54 monthly payment and we get the 6th, 9th, 12th month for free. Considering I spent about £20 a month taking Daniel swimming in their water park every Thursday, it's really not bad as the swimming now is covered by the membership, plus classes i might do,like boxercise or yoga and the free off-peak badminton / squash court hire.

I quite enjoy the gym-based workout and swimming, so the momebership is the best solution. ;)

Your determination is pretty big as well!;) You got treadmill home, don;t you? How do you get on with your home gym anyway?

Don't even ask. :))
