It's summer here and have finally made the decision to start back at our local gym complete with a swimming pool complex and outdoor pools as well.
I'd love to take up badminton again as that was one of my favourite sports growing up but unfortunately the fitness complex doesn't have provisions i.e. net to be able to play Badminton there.
But no worries there, as the treadmill (pictured left) and the weight machines are more than enough to keep me busy and enjoying the workouts again.
The gym was a place that I frequented many a time back over 5 years in my Uni days and before the kids so it great to be back with muscle memory and all that entails.
It's definitely something I'd encourage those over their 50s to consider, if not doing regular exercise as it keeps us health and fit (if we try and eat a more healthy and balanced diet) which isn't always easy as when one gets older, we kinda hang up our boots a bit (a lot).
So looking forward to what this new summer brings and especially in these last couple of weeks before Christmas. As I've finished all my marking with just a few small things to complete and then I'm home and away to Samoa. We're almost there....
