My journey of discovery – Part 1
Posted on | March 15, 2008 | 1 Comment
Ladies come and join me on my journey into the world of fitness. Yes I have joined Fernwood Gymnasium for women. Today I went with my neighbour who also just happens to be an instructor at Fernwood, to do her pump class. For those of you who don’t know what this is let me explain.
A pump class is simply a weight-training workout. You use a bar and your weights are on either side of the bar. I can not even begin to tell you how terrified I was to do this, but as you also know that I am trying to have a baby I knew that this opportunity came along and I had to at least go and see what it was all about and try it.
My neighbour and I were talking last week and I was telling her about how at my job I sit most of the day, then when I come home from work I sit in my study doing work on my website. I told her that I was thinking of coming to check out the Gym and see what classes I could do, with my weight and low fitness level. She suggested that I come to her Pump class on Saturday.
She sent me a text message last night, which I didn’t get and in that message she just wanted to know if we were still on today. When I didn’t reply she thought for sure I chickened out. So she thought she would come around in the morning and ask anyway.
When she arrived I was just about to put my sneakers on, to her surprise I was almost ready to go. Because I was in a rush this morning I didn’t eat breakfast, this is the first thing she asked me. Did I have breakfast? I didn’t and so then she thought I would pass out in her class, and to her surprise I managed to finish the whole class with only a few times stopping.
She was really bowled over when I actually took up a membership after her class. What I am trying to say here is that sometimes people under estimate us and we do this to us too. My first induction is on Monday, the second on Wednesday and I hope you join me on this journey of self-discovery and wellness. Who knows if I can make this work, it will inspire you to follow in my footsteps?
You know that if you ever want to email me about anything at all you are all welcome, to ask questions, simply to tell me about your own situation, together we can get through anything. Wish me luck!
