Motivation

Last night, I went to the gym for the first time in 3 1/2 months. There was a time, not so long ago, that used to work out, 3 or 4 times a week. I stopped going after working full-time and attending school to complete my degree. This summer as I have been busy with work and participating in a job search group at The Center, I have not gone to the gym , but I've become aware of my need for exercise by atthe very least walking to my destinations rather than taking public transportation. My cerebral palsy makes me aware that my muscles need to to remain flexible....and lately they haven't. At the Folsom Street fair, last Sunday, I had difficulty with something any flexible person would have been able to do easily (and no, It's not what you think!) So, with that incident, I will be more motivated to work out at the gym at least a few times a week.
