The Day Has Finally Arrived

It seems like Jullian has been looking forward to the day when he was old enough to begin going to the gym to lift weights. Well, he's finally old enough to be admitted into the weight room and we began going this week.

Monday night I took him to orientation that is required before using the weights and Tuesday night was our first night in the gym lifting weights. He was pretty reserved, as he normally is when he does anything for the first time, but he had a good time. He wanted to run through all the machines, but it was pretty crowded, so we just worked on the lower body to get him used to the weights. We went back again tonight and worked the upper body. I think he enjoyed it more this evening as he began getting used to more machines. I think, too, that he just enjoys the challenge of seeing how much weight he can lift. We're using this week to get him used to the machines and will start on a routine next week. When we had finished up and were walking back to the car he exclaimed that tonight was really fun in the gym and that he really enjoys working out.
