I realized that this little gym in the apartment complex is not cutting it, so I am shopping for a gym membership. There are 8 local gyms that I will try between now and January and then in January I should be able to get a good deal at my chosen gym since January is the month when gyms offer discount trying to lure people who make New Year resolutions.

Yesterday I tried gym #1. I did, not counting warmup and cooldown:

- 40 minutes on a treadmill, with incrementally increasing incline up to 6 degrees, at 3MPH
- 20 minutes on the elliptical. It actually turned out to be easy. I did both backward and forward motion.
- 2 minutes on the stairmaster. It was so hard I stopped.
- 2 minutes on the Cybex ARC machine, a new piece of equipment for me. It was incredibly hard on the calves so I stopped. I then read about this machine and it is supposed to train glutes or quads, but I did not experience that. I experience it as something exercising my calves to an extreme degree.
- 30 minutes of swimming a leisurely breaststroke

Today:
- 1 hr of walking in warm water
- 5 laps (2 km) on the track of the closest public school, walking, not walking as fast as I walk on a treadmill, but it was exercise outdoors which is supposedly better for you
- 75 mins restorative (relaxing) yoga

Tomorrow:
- will try SoulCycle. I doubt I will be able to pull it through, but I need to see for myself. It is a free class just to try it.

In addition to sampling and touring gyms, I am trying a new combo: Vraylar plus Seroquel. Today is the first day.
