Start Afresh!

Finally got to the gym today, first time at Xercise4less in Hull and it's not a bad gym. Luckily when I walked in Amanda from Fitness First was there and we talked a little then she showed me where the changing rooms where. The place is huge with a lot of equipment but as she says it get's really busy around 6-8pm so they will be the times to avoid unless I just go to do some cardio. So today was just to see what I can do and managed 10 minutes on the cross trainer and the same on the treadmill. I went on one of the machines to work my legs but with barely some weight on just to move the knees and my legs are really stiff. Whilst I was talking to Amanda she noticed I'm hobbling a little but now I think it is more of a protection thing rather than an actual pain, so I got to work on that.

I tried to do some rowing but that was making my knee crack and so I stopped doing it, but will try again as it didn't actually hurt. So I think I'll carry on doing what I did at the last gym, have a good session over the weekend on my back and chest when I can get to the equipment easier. So I'm looking forward to getting back into the gym and I have missed it too!

Spinning Around

Today was Bank Holiday and managed to miss the rain that started later in the day, Saturday me and Vinny were in town when it started thundering and pouring with rain. We got a bus home and missed most of the rain and just got damp a little!

I took my first spinning class today at the gym with Bibby and it was pretty good too. It was tiring towards the end but I was surprised how fit I am, I managed to keep up with the others and felt great after the class. My legs feel good too and I just might take another class!

I feel I am getting somewhere now at the gym, I'm getting more of an idea what to do, I'm trying to do more cardio to burn fat, I've started to run again and I can see the results in my body, Well done Me!
