Week one complete

Pondered by Nat over two years ago

So I joined the gym a week ago today.

At the moment I can’t walk properly, dress myself or do an awful lot really. I blame the lethal combo of ‘Body Pump” and “Body Attack” and those weird human beings who take the classes with such unnatural joy.

The one-week report is that this could be a great thing. I really like:

  • The ability to go out AFTER work for a drink or two knowing that I have already done my exercise
  • That if I get bored of something there are tonnes of other options
  • The unnaturally happy people who remind you at exactly the right moment that the pain you are feeling is directly related to improvement in your bum and thighs
  • That the classes have loud music so worst case scenario, you give up on the proper moves and just have a boogie for a bit

I don’t like:

  • Those gym bunny types who must live there!

So, by in large, I think this is a good decision :)

    Woohoo :) I’m one of the unnatural joy types hehe :D

    I’m glad you like the Les Mills classes! I still remember being dragged reluctantly to my first bodyattack class by a friend/work colleague and not being able to walk properly for the next few days.

    We became total addicts and at her wedding a few months ago she hitched up her wedding gown and did a few supermen for old times (I was so impressed).

    You might want to give bodystep a try as well, it’s also a lot of fun.

    Is it really that the instructors are fun of unnatural joy or that you’ve just got too used to me lately?

    Are you OK?

    It’s been a week since you’ve blogged and I’m getting worried about you – that GYM fella can be deadly (-_-)

    Barely surviving. Everything is constantly sore. But will be able to use my typing fingers again properly next week ;)
