I'm definitely missing the free gym services and classes offered on military base. Oh well, glad I'm [almost officially] a civilian again. Anyways, I checked out a few gyms today,but didn't want to sign up right away. I'm kind of weary because I'm pretty sure they're trying to get me into contracts but they're trying to word it as if there is no contract.
Eh, if you're going to be where you are or near a member gym for a while contracts don't much matter. My 18 month membership that I originally got in my college town is almost up now, it has never been a burden, and I have a gym a 3 minute bike ride from my apartment. Just depends.
I don't have much of a routine right now, due to work and the extracurriculars that come with being a young actuary. However, I'm off exam cycle at the moment, so I should have something to talk about in a week or so.
I stopped lifting because of an oozing shoulder injury so all I was doing was running and playing soccer. I'm probably going to start lifting again on Monday.
I've actually been thinking about getting a gym membership, as one of my buddies got one and he wants someone to go work out with him.
He was also in the military (Army), and I tried to explain that he's already in far better shape than I, and it's highly doubtful we'd be doing anything close to similar routines.
Then I blew out my left shoulder or something. It sucks. I should go to the doctor about it but :effort:
I've been working out of town and can't be at home for gym. Well unless I just do 3 days in a row on the weekends.
you should get that looked at. the shoulder is the most complex joint in the body, lots can go wrong etc etc.Quote:

My shoulders are in perfect condition, fyi.
My shoulder is good. Worked out a couple times last week. Then I had an unidentified drunken MCL sprain in Vegas and I'm sidelined again. Brutal.
I need to start running. Something I wanted to do when I was in jail, That and it'd help me in my goal to get back down to 200lbs by christmas, I worked out a lot in jail, and they fed you 2000+ calories a day in there, So I put on muscle and fat and went from 198-235 in 8 months. I'm down to 215 in a month, but that's just been my diet change to eating once a day, and staying well under 2k calories every day.
I don't want any size, I'd like definition, but right now I just want to get rid of this gut I have.
I have a cough right now... and it's working out my abs, sides, and back. I'ma be a beast when I get better
I do simple dumbbell exercises every couple days. Nothing too intense.
