Yes, having my membership funded by Tommy motivates me to go for sure!

My incentives are pretty similar to yours (minus the 10K (WOW!!!!!) and the tweed suit.

I'm not sure if you know this but I'm not working yet. That's how I am able to go to the gym so often. I think when I'm working full-time it will be easier to go three times a week. And my goal weight loss is 10-15 lbs so I need to really push myself. I you have an extra 5 lbs, you should lose it quickly!! Especially if you take spinning classes! You'll be very toned in no time!

Nope, I've never done that class. But if it's like kickboxing it should be great!

I don't think of myself as competitive BUT when I heard that Tommy's sister (who I'm friends with) went to two back-to-back classes I was a bit floored. It didn't make me jealous or anything but it made me think that I need to step up my own workouts. So a little competition is probably a good motivator!

I just KNEW 30 mins of cardio wasn't enough. Thanks for sharing that with me. I've always read that for weight loss that LOTS of cardio was very effective. I'll add an extra 10 mins to my cardio.

Not sure if I mentionned this but my trainer told me to keepmy targer heart rate at 158 and never any higher than 171. Tht said, I TRIED to get my heart rate to 158 on the treadmill and couldn't! I hate running but to see if my heart rate would go up I tried running for a couple of minutes and it onlywent up to 120 or something. Odd? And it's not because I'm so athletic that my heart is in top form. Maybe I'll switch cardio machines for a while.

Great to have a workout buddy! If you ever come back to NYC, we'll have to workout together for real.
