Yeah, hoping to turn it into a theme park actually.....hehe.
I joined a local Planet Fitness gym Sunday. While I have a home gym, I've maxed out the weights on some exercises and others I want to do just can't be done at home without the proper equipment. For $10 a month, I get the opportunity, some social interaction, and free advice, plus it is nice to be around other like minded people too for inspiration. So far I have learned that the max on my equipment at home isn't always the same at the gym. Who knew right? It's all good, though at first, it kinda freaked me out. I thought I had lost a lot of muscle mass. Turns out it is just the range of motion of the machines that works the muscles a little differently than mine, hence, not as strong in that way.
Of course my goals remain the same. To tone up over all (no jiggly parts!) I want to build my chest a little more and have better defined pecs. I want bigger biceps. I'd like to grow them to about 16" or 18" (hoping). I want to flatten my stomach, maybe even get my abs back. And of course, tighten, tone my butt so it is bubble like once again. All on my little wish list is doable. It's only a question of time and dedication. I chose this gym, not only for it's cheap price, but it is open 24/7! It meshes well with the weird scheduling at Macy's, especially here at the holidays. I'll keep y'all posted. Wish me well!

good for you! $10 is a small price to pay to exercise, and the 24/7 idea is fantastic!
GO FOR IT!
Turning into a "tommy" clone mid age muscle queen. At your age you dont need to be worried about a "bubble".... be worried about your health and alooking good in a fit body.
