I am the weakest person I know. I haven't done any physical activity since college, where I was pretty active as a dancer... daily classes in ballet, tap, jazz, and modern dance, in addition to yoga and pilates kept my body in check. That was over 7 years ago. Wow... time sure does fly.
Adam enjoys working out and has always been good at sports. He wants me to hit the gym with him and is willing to be my personal trainer. Sure, I'd love to get stronger and more fit, but I'm really weak and lazy and I'm warning him that he's got his work cut out for him. I will whine the whole way through.
So, in preparation, I went hiking up one of Seoul's tallest mountains. What a way to start, right? It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Just when I thought I couldn't make it one more step, I'd go further. And even when you accomplish your goal and reach the peak, you still have to trek all the way back down. My entire body was so sore for the next couple days that I could hardly move. YES. Even in my sleep, whenever I changed position, I woke up enough to be aware of the pain.
So I thought, well, what better way to use this as a jumping off point and start working out in the gym. So I'm making use of the gym here in the hotel and am not enjoying it one bit. I've come to the conclusion that anything that requires me to break a sweat just isn't my bag. The entire time, I didn't enjoy it (I hated it actually), I found it to be incredibly boring, and it made me tired and it hurt a lot. I didn't mind hiking as much, even though it was really difficult, it wasn't as boring.
I'm not really focused on losing weight, I just want to get healthier and stronger. And I wouldn't mind having some 'girl guns' like Madonna's, only not as scary and butch. Wish me luck!
