The Adrenalin Hunt!!

The first time I enrolled in a gym was many years ago, when they were freshly rolling out the virtues of workouts and I was a fresh Class 12th passout n a merit holder!! one florid magazine likened the post-work out phase to juicy cup cakes...I love cup cakes so I signed up with this place on top of my fav Non-veg haunt!! Thats PLAIN Coincidence! Ofcourse I have long abandoned the magazine. It was never about cup cakes.
The day I walked in, the instructor, a beefy n tough looking man, was barking at this slim structure on the bench press machine "C'mon, 1-2-3 push. 4-5-6 push. U wanna b like me? I'm 40 going on 30."
Okay, this convinced me some more, even though I was left when everyone was right. Thoroughly directionally challenged, I thought, but what the heck, I liked the idea, 40-going-on-30. I went through the motions: Stretches for 5 mins, step aerobics for 15 mins, cycling for 10 mins, treadmill for 15 and then I waited. I waited for that famous rush of endorphins to grab me and spirit me away...Instead of which, I could feel my legs giving way beneath me.
Tottering back home, every inch of of my body ached. Cup cakes my foot. I believed a truck ramming into me might have done a better job. I might feel better in a while, I convinced myself. Perhaps the adrenalin in my body was in a state of shock, not used to the gym and all that. Once home, I lay flat on the bed and slept like a baby.
Since then, I have been researching the highs of adrenalin like a maniac. Sometimes I've found it and sometimes not. It's with me on the dance floor, but abandons me on the rowing machine. It grabs me when I'm working out with weights but watch it fly when I'm doing step aerobics. And when I'm walking it's with me all the way. it knows what my body wants.
I know what my body wants. It wants an exercise that it can cope up with. It needs a workout that's conducive to my lifestyle, which can be rather sedantry. It needs a gentle fitness regimen. I'm glad I worked it out. I'm glad I work out. I'm glad I'm fit and in shape!!;)
