Gym Training
Yesterday, I got myself back to the gym for the first time in a couple of weeks. Following my theory of building up slowly, I had decided to do a little bit of everything. This is also more motivating at the start of a fitness plan as each bit doesn’t last too long!
I started off on the bike for 20 mins, using a programme to break up the time. Unless I’m really tired, I find that once I have set a programme going on any aerobics machine, I always tend to finish, whereas if I go for manual it seems to be easier to quit.
I then headed for the studio as a class had just finished and did some gentle arm free weights, some pilates stomach, stretches and a few lunges, before finishing off with 10 mins on the cross-trainer to cool everything down. Felt good after, and this am I can feel that I have worked out, but nothing is hurting.
Overall a good start.
Fitness and diet has been a growing interest of mine for about 15 years now. What was initially just 'my thing' became a much stronger focus 8 years ago when I gave up working full time in business. I have since learned a lot about nutrition, and trained in Pilates mat work, as well as in more traditional gym programs.
We have travelled a lot in the last 6 years and I am only finally more settled in Almerimar this year. I know from this experience that at times it is difficult to lead a healthy lifestyle, but it is something that is very important to me.
My work with other people so far has been mainly one to one, which is how I prefer it, as I see diet and fitness as a very personal thing. We are all very different in what we are trying to achieve here and in the other things that are important in our lives!
