[Sundae]

Had my gym induction yesterday and went on my first session today.
It only takes an hour, so it's not a big commitment twice a week, but I hope it will pay dividends, even in making the classes I'm doing easier.

I warm up, then row 400m (technically still my warm-up), 25 mins of CV work on one of four machines - treadmill today, the easiest, then core muscle exercises. They have a wonderful vibrating machine, which I only use for 5 30 second poses, but apparently it's beneficial for everyone from novices like me, to trained athletes, to wheelchair users. I like it because I don't have a great deal of patience for repetition and it's great to see the seconds ticking away.

The floor core muscles exercises are the grimmest. I may start practising them at home to make them easier at the gym.

Oh and I bought some new jogging bottoms today - £4 from Matalan. I got mens' ones because they are cheaper in the bigger sizes - I'll get some cool bootleg ones with diamante design etc when I have less weight to lose.
