i joined a gym this week., Planet Fitness.  I've been there three times and so far and just use the tread mill and the bicycle.  I meet with the trainer next week to get some ideas on what upper body stuff would be good for me.  I've never joined a gym in my life.  I joined because 1.  I want to be healthier!  2.  I need to loose weight.  3. I hope my son and husband will follow my lead and join, too.  And, most importantly, 4.  It's something healthy people do!

Good on ya !!!  I've been procrastinating about joining a gym for months lol . I used to go and loved it, I also used to walk for an hour on the beach every day, but no more !!  ::)  I still go out to work, with that and the fatigue that KD brings I never seem to have the energy. I do believe tho that if I was fitter, KD aside, I would feel better!
I had my fistula op last week at the same hospital that I had a knee surgery 4 years ago - the admitting nurse kindly pointed out that I weigh 14kgs more now than I did then !! Thanks nurse  :Kit n Stik;

Yay to WishIKnew!  You can start Zumba like these guys, too.   :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

Sue, when I got thinner, I think my D treatments were more effective.  Plus, I slept better and my knees and back hurt less, just like anyone who loses weight.

See now, there is the problem. You actually have to GO to the gym. Signing up is the easy part.

Tried this new step climber/jogger machine today.  Holy cow.  I am so not fit!  3 minutes on it kicked my butt!  I'm in for the challenge.  I'll do 3 and a half tomorrow!

tread mill pretty fast = 20 min
climber/jogger thing = 3 minutes
bicycle                    = 8 minutes
                             __________
                               31 minutes and I wobbled out of there on shaky legs, but it felt like a step in the right direction!

Yes, yes and yes again.  You'll soon start feeling the benefits and hopefully get addicted to feeling good.

I looked at the translation, and it is called: European Transplant and Dialysis Games.

Wow Zach, thanks for that. I'm afraid I won't be competing, or even trying to qualify, but I'm sure someone on D will. Not sure if I can compare my physical condition on D to the one I enjoyed while having a transplant though.
