My Joyful Return to the Gym
Posted on September 3rd, 2010 by Cynthia D'Amour
Oh the pain.
Yesterday I worked out with my trainer Joy Queen of Torture.
- For the first time in almost a month.
- Sickness and travel got in the way.
- And then I went on strike.
Joy called me earlier this week.
- To clear things up.
- And get me back on her schedule.
- For the next few weeks.
I had been avoiding the gym.
- Worried my edge was dull.
- Muscles disappearing.
- Feeling blue.
Joy put me through my paces yesterday.
- To squash my worries.
- I even broke my pull-up record.
- And shocked the daylights out of me!
It’s 3 AM and I hurt.
- All over.
- But in a good way.
- My muscles screaming, “Welcome back!”
Joy’s call pushed me over my floundering and back in the gym groove.
Makes me think of chapter leaders…how do you reach out to members you haven’t seen in a while to help them come back to your chapter?
