Jessica joined a Chicago gym right after Christmas 2009. She had gained a few pounds over the holidays and was determined to shed them quickly. She decided joining the gym, along with eating properly, was the way to do it.
Every day at 7 a.m., she ran on the treadmill for about 20 minutes then rode the stationary bike for another 20 minutes. She finished up with free weights. With time, the weight was gone, and Jessica was so impressed with her body and the way she felt about herself that going to the gym every morning became like breathing.
Another part of her routine was cleaning any piece of gym equipment before using it--and very often after as well--with a disinfectant wipe provided by the facility.
