I after months of hemming and hawing I finally joined a gym. The problem is, I'm terrified to go in that place!

The last time I was in a health club everyone wore leotards and legwarmers! (think Flashdance)!!!!

I actually drove out there yesterday and got as far as the parking lot and drive home. I totally chickened out!

I wish I had someone to go with me!

If any one lives in the SoCal area and goes to 24 Hour Fitness and you wouldn't mind going with a middle aged out of shape woman, let me know!

I was thinking. Since its open 24 hours I could go kind of late and just walk on the treadmill or elliptical or something and check the place out.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

How long after surgery do you have to wait to go to the gym

I don't know but is been walking I don't want to do any weight lifting until after my six weeks this is week 4 for me coming up.

I joined a 24 hour gym in my area (cape cod) and love it. Every day I see different types of people in there. They are all working on themselves and so am I. I am 5'2" and 240 down from 288. I surprise myself every time I try a new machine. Started on the treadmill. Now I can do the elliptical for 15 minutes! And I had a session with a personal trainer for weight training. I find my stress level is down and my weight is falling off. My key to success is put yourself first and don't think about what others may think.

It takes 6 weeks to heal. Wait until your 6 week follow up. I walked every day after 2 weeks and felt a bit dizzy doing that.

Oh okay. I go to the gym now trying to build up my muscle tone
