Have A Good Workout?

Every time I walk into New York Sports Club, I get my card scanned and the woman or man behind the desk says, “enjoy your workout!”

Enjoy my workout?  I could barely get motivated to go to the gym, let alone, enjoy the workout.  Who enjoys the workout?  You do it because you need to do it.  It’s a necessity not something fun.  And then after the workout, you are totally sore.  At least I know I am!  I feel like I can’t even walk after an hour run or 45 minutes on the elliptical and then an hour with my trainer.

And talk about the next day… I am in so much pain.  Now, you may say, “No pain, no gain.” And that’s true.  But I thought it would get easier.  I think the more I do this the harder it’s getting.  I asked my trainer today if he is in pain everyday.

“Everyday something hurts me,” he told me.

Sometimes I think that liposuction is the better alternative and then, I think this is the natural way.

But have a good workout?  or enjoy your workout?  Are we really enjoying it? Or are we just suffering through it until it’s over?

(BTW, in a warped way, I actually think I like it…)
