BBS,
Way to go on the extra distance.
Our local Y charges $45.50 a month plus a $75.00 registration for one adult. That price includes the locker fee but not towels. I'd have to have a locker if I joined.
You get access to everything and a reduced (but not free) admission in classes.
You can get a one day pass for $10.00 which I should probably do once or twice then decide if I can justify (or afford) that much money.
I used the elliptical yesterday for 20 minutes.

I'm up to a high resistance so it really gives me a workout. My heart rate gets up to the 130-145 range. I need to do it more often, but it's so hard to get myself up and moving a lot of the time.
Maybe I'll make it a point to try a day at the Y in the next week or two. I could maybe get DH to go with me, but I doubt he'll want to go.
