Yes, it's true. I am actually starting with exercise. I have been to Curves, I have been weighed, measured, fat percentage taken, BMI, targets set, tears shed, sweat sweated and circuits completed. How do I feel about it? Flipping Awesome!
It has taken me so so long to take the small hard step of getting back into exercise and having done it, it now feels as though my goal is finally in sight.
I first started Curves 16/10/08. I weighed about 20 stone I think back then. By the February 2009 I was down to about 14 stone. So what I know, that's the past. However, it's the 30th of October 2010, I feel that in not a very long period of time I can make a dent in my weightloss. LL combined with Curves. The seratonins or whatever they are will be working well with my mental health too I feel. I am feeling positive yee haa, thank feck!
The workout was great. Curves is all women, circuit type training. The machines are hydrolic so you push yourself as hard as you can but dependent on the size you are. So you cannot overdo it really. The hydrolic machines are spaced with boards and when finished on one of the machines, you do a board exercise which is lower impact. You spend 30 seconds on each board. The full circuit takes you 30 minutes to do and then there are stretches afterwards. I was so selfconcious at first. Wore my trakkies and a tshirt.. and a cardi! A flipping cardi, but I was trying to cover my lumps and bumps! Half way through and I didn't care anymore, cardi was off and I was just getting on with it. Lots of different shaped women, big, small, thin, fat, and all doing their own thing. And of course the trainers, or rather encouragers, coming around egging people on. Good music on with a fast beat. I was concious of my lumps and bumps, realised that perhaps maybe I should shave my legs.... why do trakkies have to rise up your leg sometimes?!
