Well, I went with Crash last night to check out the regular gym in town,
and I was very impressed.  They've got a LOT of circuit training equipment,
and a thingamajij for working on your abdominal muscles.   And the machines
aren't over-crowded.  Seemed that most people prefered to work on the
treadmills and the thingies that you stand up on, and go through a
bike-riding motion.

I signed on along with him.  The second person is half price, and we'll be
saving about $20 a month by my switching to the gym instead of Curves.  I'm
also hoping that we'll provide motivation to each other to keep going.  We
both look at least 6 months pregnant at this point, and we also need to
strengthen our back muscles to avoid recurring back pain.

We have our training session this afternoon.  Our individualized plans will
take our various injuries into account, and we'll completely avoid a couple
things.  

I'll keep y'all posted after we've gone through our orientation.  Thanks
for listening!
