So I decided last night I was going to go to the gym this morning and do an upper body workout with the weight machines. My husband looks at me like I am crazy..lol.. he knows how much I hate the gym. He said, you do realize even though you are going before work it will still be packed in there. I said I know, I am trying to get over my dislike of working out in a crowed gym.
Well I tried. I did not like it. I don't know why I thought it would be different. I felt so awkward using the machines and I was never able to really focus or get in a good grove. I am just going to stick to doing my own workouts at home on days I am not running. I can do push ups, squats, sit ups, ect.. Maybe it would feel better if I had a friend to go with me, but I don't, so I am not going back.

Thank you @MSinger and @Newme17. Not hurting myself is one of the things I am keeping in front of my mind. The gym was on the Air Force Base and I don't think they have personal trainers. I am sure I was not using proper form on a couple of the machines mainly because I am tall and couldn't figure out how to adjust the height on the seat.
I am going to ask my dh to help me at home. He does all of these types of exercises for PT in the military so he can make sure I am doing them correctly.
Are you ladies able to do a regular push up? I have to do girl push ups so one of my goals is to be able to do at least 1 military style men's push up!
