Gym member ship?

Question

I’m about to get a gym membership this Friday so I was wanting some input on what all you ladies use when you go. What’s your gym routine? 😃 how long do you usually go for? And what is your favorite songs to workout to? 
I’m tired of feeling so lazy, chubby and unhealthy. Defiantly want to get in shape for bikinis and fit back into my old clothes. 😭😬

Answer

I find that I always find excuses to skip the gym. I opted for beachbody on demand and do home workouts. It is cheaper and I am more likely to do it. And they have hundreds of workouts you can stream so I never get bored doing the same thing.

I usually hop on Soundcloud or Pandora and search for a playlist that suits me, I like to listen to DMX at the gym, it just pumps me up, lol. I usually start off with the treadmill, I try to slowly make my way up to a running speed I'm comfortable with and push from there, when I can't go anymore, I will go to the ab machines that are available at the gym, I'll start off with a low weight, and do 20 reps there, raise the weight and do 15 reps, then up the weight and do 10, etc, then move to arms, or legs, repeating the same process and I try to make my gym day last about an hour. That's just me personally. My best friend goes and she will use free weights mostly, or our gyms yoga/dance room. It's really whatever you feel comfortable with. Darebees is a great place to look up some workouts as well!

Answer

We have 2 gym options in my hometown and a CrossFit gym. One of the gyms is locally owned, the other is a national chain. I have used both, but I’m currently at the National chain because I can use other locations. Honestly, I hate the gym. I go immediately after work, and I finish up by tanning (bad, I know but not being pasty is my motivation). 
Right now, I’m just starting to go back after 8ish months of not going (log story). So I’m doing 35 minutes of cardio and half an hour of weights. It will eventually get to close to two hours total. I rotate what I do each day: legs, arms, back/abs, legs. I tend to focus most on my legs because I see the most results there—I build muscle in my legs super easily. I also have an effed up shoulder, so I tend to go really easy on upper body stuff due to that. 
I listen to anything and everything when working out. I tend to match my cardio speed to my music, so I have to be conscious about what I’m listening to. I also try to chose something a little slower for my cool downs for this reason. When I’m doing weights, I like older Kanye West stuff, throwbacks, and recently the Black Panther soundtrack, although it can change drastically day to day. 
Sometimes, especially if I’m doing a long stretch of cardio (once my endurance gets built back up), I will watch a show on Netflix or read a book on my kindle while doing cardio. I use the length of a show to signal when I need to stop. And it keeps me distracted from the fact that I absolutely hate the gym. 😂😂😂
