First Day back at the Gym

Well after putting it off for months I finally went back to the gym this morning. I haven't trained since early February. So I have been putting it off but I missed it and made time.

I was only there for 30 minutes which was enough to break me in running machine for 20 minutes and inner thighs machine for 10 min couple of reps of 15.

So glad I left when I did because I can't open my legs properly today or yesterday

So I have alot more breaking in to do so I'm going every morning next week.

Guaranteed I won't be able to walk, cough or walk down stairs. But as strange as it is I actually like the feeling as I know I have worked my body.

Motivational tips to get you to the gym

1. Get your outfit.ready, a good gym outfit makes you feel good it's like wearing a nice dress on a night out same with your trainers, we all like shoes so invest in a good pair of comfy trainers.

2. Get a training partner, or be your own partner. I personally like going on my own because you beat your nerves by going in to a new gym on your own and you don't have to rely on someone else plus you will meet new people the more you go.

3. Make a routine, get up early if you can go before work, it's done and you feel good.

4. Usually on first gym memberships they offer a personal training programme with an instructor they will show you how to work the machines and give a tour plus they will give you a training programme so you know what exercises to do when you go.

5. Join the classes, I personally like the Tabata, TRX, boxing, spin and HIT classes.

6. Even when you don't want to go... GO you will feel so much better and usually you have a better workout and glad you went.

7. Remember your body is a machine and amazing it has the ability to do anything you want, so push yourself and see the results.

8. Download a good music app so you can listen to feel good tunes when working out.

9. Remember everyday you will get fitter and stronger and so will your mind.

10. Feel good and own it, one day you will look back and think why didn't I do this earlier. you will find you can't stop and remember all progress starts outside your comfort zone.
