my Gym diary

[leckershell]

Yeah I know... I'm the least likely person to ever join a Gym but heyho.

I had my induction (1 hour of pain) on Monday and this evening had a 45min ish session and joined up for a month (I'll see how it goes before booking more months).

Just want to record my progress somewhere really..! I'm trying to tone, not lose weight. Baby belly

730-820
6 minutes on exercise bike
6 minutes on treadmill
3 minutes on cross trainer
stretching machines - bum, inner thigh, outer thigh, shoulders, sitting rower
5 minutes on rowing machine
6 minutes on uneven ground treadmill
few minutes on exercise wheel at home

about 200 calories!

good for you. when i first started i couldnt do cross trainer for more than 3 mins. Now i cant go to the gym at all because of my back. really miss it

Can i make a suggestion??

Try to limit your workout to either one or two machines using similar body parts... Ie 15 minutes walking on treadmill 15minutes cycling It will feel like an absolute bitch to start off with but you would be more likely to see results as your heartrate would be more likely to increase where as doing a few minutes at a time on different machines will burn calories but not very many.

Judge your workouts on how you feel and move at your own pace, you shuld feel like u had a good sess but not so awful that you don;t feel like going back...

Either way congrats on joining the gym enjoy it

approx 160 calories not including any on the rower as I was playing a game onthe screen instead of viewing calories and timer etc.

Thanks Sharne only just read your reply, I was just going by what the trainer told me in my induction. In a week or so I'm meant to do a second induction and then he'll tell me what to focus on and how heavy to put the weights on and how many reps and time to spend on things
I'm still enjoying it though so that's a good thing.
