Gym session #1

I did it. Only nearly felt like crying once. I'm so brave lol. Yep, I was the biggest person in the room, and the weakest person known to man, but I'll get there. My upper body strength is non-existent I've discovered, especially when it comes to pushing things upwards.

We started off with 15 minutes cardio. I hoped on the eliptical and went to work. I then attempted to do the stair master, but got about a minute into that before Whit had decided he was finished and expected us to move on with him. So not impressed with that.

Nest stop was the Nautilus Circuit room. Apparently some of these machines aren't made for short nor weak people. I struggled with a few of them, the ones that involved pushing the bar up above your head, and the dumbell curl type one. I was too short for that one and just couldn't work it. Next time I go, I should be alone and not getting rushed through it, well I hope anyway, so i'll check out the women's weight room and see what it's got. I really wanted to have a go on the rowing machine's but that didn't happen either.

We then headed upstairs to the free weights kind of area, the boys wanted to do a couple of calf raises and that's where the machines were. Boy did I feel totally out of place up there. There were even some old birds up there totally smashing it out. I did a set of 30kg calf raises and then managed to bust out 2x 65kg one's, which officially weighed more than me.

Madi didn't cope great in the creche, she said she missed me and wasn't going back. Got news for her and unfortunately it's all bad. It's going to be worse when she doesn't have the boys there with her!

Soreness levels aren't actually too bad this morning. Not as bad as I was expecting. If i move certain ways I can feel it, but it's bearable. Total calorie burn was 444 for 1 hour.

I ended up coming home and getting a massive case of the guilts when watching the Biggest Loser, so got back on my bike and did another 25 minutes, burning another 214 calories
