I Worked Out At Good Life Fitness Today

One of the components of cognitive behavioral therapy is conducting homework assignments known as “exposures”. Today, I decided to take on one of the highest fears and that’s working out at the gym. Although, I know I have a decent looking body I have anxiety because I am self conscious about sweating, about looking weird, and out of  place. I decided this morning to confront my fear of the gym and I went to the gym to work out. First, I went to the treadmill and worked out for approximately forty minutes.

According to the treadmill, I burned 510 calories! Next, I decided to workout on the cycling machine for about fifteen minutes. I felt tired but good after the workout. I understand I have to be more consistent with working out. After all, I am paying for a gym membership at Good Life Fitness I might as well use it.
