must be mad!!! just joined a gym!!!

[yola]

LOL!!! I'm hankering after getting back to the gym. I really need that motivation of getting out of the door and doing something rather than promising myself I will do some exercises and then not doing them!!!

Told OH I would like another membership as a Christmas present (he did that a couple of years ago). It works both ways; I feel that he's spent the money so I should use the gift and he has spent the money and therefore can't really complain if he's left to look after the boys as I'm actually using his present!!!

I look forward to hearing how you get on Emma . . . it sounds like you have a nice environment to work out in

[EmmaG]

THANKS DONNA!!!!!!!! lol

Yola you should join up again, well so should anybody who wants to, at the gym today there were all shapes and sizes!! and I stayed in the Ladies only gym

10 mins on the cross trainer
20 mins walking at a reasonable pace on the treadmill, incline at 1 and walking pace of 5.5 mph which I really enjoyed
10 mins on bike
10 mins on recumbent bike

various weight machines.

Really enjoyed today, going back on Thursday and I have my induction on Friday where Adam my instructor will see how fit I am and can tailor my plan I hope he doesn't make me run on a treadmill!!!! lol

The facilities are so nice, all the machines have TV, music, MTV on them, nobody was taking any notice of anybody else which was nice.

The have a fantastic crèche there as well, if only I had children

They also do a lot of classes, spin, pilate's, yoga etc and also have a nice swimming pool

It sounds like an excellent gym Emma! The facilities sound great The thought of a personal trainer would fill me with horror I think I'd be declared a no hope case

Hope you enjoy the rest of your sessions

Gyms fill me with dread. Not the exercise, but more the not knowing what particular machine does what, what I am supposed to do, if I am doing something wrong, and all the other people knowing what they are doing and I dont!!!

My idea of hell!!! But glad you enjoyed it Emma!

[EmmaG]

lol a good gym should show you have to use the equipment Donna, the instructor today showed me how to use everything (and got me use to a couple of the machines and weights) Most of the machines are VERY easy to use.

Thanks Fran, I just hope that I Friday he doesn't decide to push me too much!!!!

I've never been to a gym; they impress me as being a bit intimidating! I do have a rowing machine and stationary bike at home. not used very often....., and some small barbells, which I pretty much gave up on as I couldn't see they were doing anything for upper arm strength.....

[EmmaG]

Eileen, the gyms are not normally too intimidating, after a day or so you tend to get over that feeling.

Certainly back into the swing of things at the gym now we are back from holiday, so far this month I have lifted 33 tonnes and burnt enough calories 36 apples contain

[dandysmom]

Wow, Emma, well done!!!

[EmmaG]

Thanks Eileen I have definitely got the gym bug !!

[Mags]

Well done Emma, you're putting the rest of us to shame!
