Eleven weeks ago I
would not have thought it possible that I could maintain a jog for
more than a few seconds, but through this week I started with a 30
second jog on the treadmill and I am now able to jog for 2 minutes!
It has been harder to
get to the gym this week as I have been sick and have had sick
children. (Did I jinks myself last week when I said I now had some
gym equipment that I can use as home if need be?) So I have now used
my Mother's Day present which comes with a 25 minute workout using
the resistance bands. However I missed the gym environment as I seem
to push myself harder when there are others exercising around me.
I was unable to get to
the gym 2 days in a row this week and I really wanted to get there,
so much so that yesterday, after looking after a sick daughter all
day, I managed to make it to the gym at 8.30pm to fit in an hour
session before the centre closed. Perhaps I am starting to develop a
habit, a slight addiction to exercise??
The small group
training session was lead by a new trainer, Shardi. She lead the
group through a varied program which worked my upper body as well as
getting my heart rate up. This included boxing, push-ups, squats
while throwing a medicine ball, and rowing with resistance bands.
She advised that if I was doing the exercises correctly, I should
feel it the following day. And I did!!!
