Gem1304 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I signed up to this a fair old while ago but never actually progressed with anything and never posted here again! However, everything has changed. After a couple of years of doing absolutely sod all exercise (and I mean literally nothing) I have got really fed up with no only being very unfit but also being very weak! So I've taken the first step and signed up to the local gym. Been 4 times in my 1st week, 3 times just cardio before my induction yesterday, where I asked the PT if he could introduce me to the free weights section. Cardio and machines is all I've ever done in the past but they've never excited me and the more I've read and heard about free weights the more I've wanted to do it! He showed me through everything and has given me a workout program to start with. Not gonna lie, yesterday absolutely killed me and my legs hate me today! The plan is weights 3 times a week with 2 days cardio. Tomorrow will be my first day proper doing my weights workout and although quite excited I am pretty nervous, not only because there were a large number of men there yesterday and no women, and the amount my legs hurt today! So yeah, basically just saying hi and stating my objectives. I need to be strict with my diet also, as I'm a bit of a chocoholic! And I won't deny myself chocolate Gem xx Quote Link to comment
