Gym

At last after 4 years, I finally stepped inside the gym once more.  Mars and I enrolled in a 3 months membership at the Swiss Belhotel gym here in Doha. We have unlimited access to the gym inclusive of the machines, sauna, steam room and the pool.  It was my first day yesterday and I had fun familiarizing myself with the different machines.  I was checking which machine should I or shouldn't I be using because of my SIJ dysfunction.  I will stay away from those which I think will harm my back as well as will put too much strain on it.  I will be very careful not to overdo the exercises.  Afterall, I am there at the gym just for fitness purposes.  I am considered underweight and therefore won't need to lose weight.  I will just do exercises that would strengthen my core muscles hoping the my back problem will go away.  As for Mars, he really wants to lose weight and to change from his sedentary lifestyle into something which involves some activities.  

We hope that this is the start of a better healthy lifestyle for me and hubby.  Aside from that, there's another thing to list among the things that we both can do and enjoy together.
