After a little over a year’s absence, we just went and rejoined the North Valley YMCA<\/a>. We were previously quite active at the Y, where I was strongly involved in the Y-Princesses program<\/a> (which is a program I highly recommend), as part of the Sioux-North tribe<\/a>. However, in early 2005 we dropped our membership, as I had stopped driving there from our old house in North Hills. Instead, I got a personal trainer to come every other week.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to now. We’re now a lot closer to the YMCA (3.1 vs. 8.3 miles), my personal trainer has gotten a full-time position at the Burbank Y<\/a><\/strike> teaching in Arizona<\/u>, and the rates seem a lot more affordable than the trainer (the trainer was $60 every other week; the Y is $65\/month for the entire family — individual membership is only $44\/month — plus a one time $100 application fee). Additionally, my wife wants to start taking a number of classes<\/a> there, such as Tai Chi, my daughter wants to take Yoga, and perhaps we might do some of their Ballroom Dancing classes. <\/p>\n

My initial goal will be to get up there a few days a week directly after work<\/a> (only 1.8 mi) to use the strength and cardio machines<\/a>. From working with the trainer, I’m much more aware of what exercises do what, so I think I’ll be more effective in my workout routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
