That really needs a Glaswegian font...
So, been going to the gym, to try to offload some of the fat and unfit. Progress reports have been requested, so here goes!
Session 1: (Monday fortnight ago) Gangbusters! Did 1/2 an hour on the treadmill, moderate walk, and 15 mins on the elliptical runner.
Session 2: (the following Wednesday) Even more gangbusters! Same as above, faster walk, much faster on the runner. Pushed out 20 each of push-ups and tricep dips. Not many, but they were all good ones.
Session 3: Last Wed. Oh. My. God. Kill me now... Did half an hour in total. Struggled for every second.
Session 4: Tuesday just gone - 1/2 an hour, 15 mins each, fast walk and high speed runner. Thank goodness the dire wah wah is over!
Session 5: This arvo. Not so good as Tues. Half an hour. Fast walk, high speed runner. Ankle was hurting, and I think it was just a bit too hot (yup, I picked a cheap gym with no aircon...)
So I think that my body is getting over the initial shock of the unaccustomed exercise, and my endurance should start to improve a bit. I'm not too fussed about short sessions at this point - better to do 20 mins of intense, and work up a sweat, that 40 mins of lacklustre.
Starving! Chooky and salad wraps, here I come!
