I’ve started going to the gym again. This time I went with my friend to her gym where they have a television at every machine. Because each machine had its own individual TV monitor, you can select your own channel to watch. It made a huge difference for me. Instead of looking at the clock every 30 seconds and wanting to leave the gym as soon as possible, I actually wanted to stay longer at the gym. One night I watched an entire episode of Criminal Minds while on the treadmill. Another night I watched an episode of Law and Order: SVU. That’s an hour of working out each night that flew by. I would have stayed longer if my friend wasn’t so eager to leave. She couldn’t find a TV show she wanted to watch.
What kicked off this latest fervor for working out was a long walk I took from Chinatown to Stanley Park on Saturday. I didn’t want all that energy wasted as a one-off exercise venture so I decided to follow that up by going to the gym.

That’s so great Grace – you found a motivator that works for you :-). I too find that time flies at the gym if you can catch a good show.
