What better way to start the day than the gym, right? Well yes.. UNLESS you don't have a damn TOWEL!!!!! Went to the University's gym today- the Mardyke Arena- ready to start my day with a solid work out of cardio and strengthening. Well the rules I guess are that you cannot use the equipment unless you have a "towel" which is like a sweat towel to us Americans? Let me just say that HOW THE HELL DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?! First of all, you don't have a disinfectant spray around to wipe the equipment, so you want me to use my sweaty towel? Ya.. That makes SO MUCH SENSE- NOT! But the facilities were gorgeous I must say with multiple levels of cross training equipment, weights, a couple squash courts, a pool, a few basketball courts, a sonna and steam room, really nice locker room with showers- THAT ALWAYS HAVE HOT WATER! Needless to say that one of the workers who was guarding one of the doors- that had a sign saying "no towel no entry" - was nice enough to let us use the equipment regardless since it was our first day! Had a really great work out and hope to continue with all of this free time and it's a 5 minute walk! They also have a bunch of work out classes that I can't wait to try out this week like Hot yoga- Can't wait to start yoga again.. I've missed it so much- and maybe some zumba classes with the girls and some "Legs, Bums, Tums" classes!- Say it with an Irish Accent.. You'll want to take the class too!

Lesson of the day learned… BRING A FRIKEN TOWEL TO THE GYM PEOPLE!

Cheers!
