Feeling Dissapointed...

This was definitely the shortest stay at the gym, I realized very quickly that I should have stayed at home, but continued anyway against the best advice of Kirsty, one day she's just gonna punch me straight in the face for ignoring her advice, but by then I'll be slender and I'll be able to dodge it like Neo on The Matrix (I haven't actually seen that by the way).

It started off absolutely fine, a little ache here and there 15 minutes on the treadmill with me flicking the incline between 2-4% throughout at a steady pace, not too slow that I feel like I'm crawling, but enough to pump my heart rate into that moderate and above zone, coming off the Treadmill was fine, no issues at all, in fact, I felt so confident I jumped straight onto the Cross Trainer without much of a rest in between and went to ham on the Cross Trainer, I was so stupid to do this, but I thought you know what I'm going to push myself a little bit further today, in hindsight this is not a good idea when you already ache from the gym session the night before and something I'm keen to avoid in the future. So after about 3 minutes, I'm done again, legs absolutely aching, again like jelly as I step off the machine, but did I stop there? hahaha no, that would be too easy, onto the bike I go again giving it some ham, again equally not a good idea, this particular bike feels easy, because you stretch your legs out, but wow can you feel it in your legs and hips.

I ignored all of the warning signs before the Gym and during exercise trying to do too much too quickly, I know things won't change overnight, but in the moment determination takes over and I just powered through the pain, it's my 3rd day I should be building myself up and not trying to train like Mo Farah.

However, with the pain, I'm in now I honestly don't think it was worth the effort, it probably hasn't done much for me, moving forward I am going to just build myself up, take it easy and make sure I get a good workout and benefit from each one of them.

Flabs Away!

As Promised, here's the update!

So it's not my imagination that I ache, but I don't ache to the extent where I can't get off my chair, also I committed a cardinal sin and googled it and the advice on there basically said if you ache just a little, it's fine to go back to the gym, it may in fact help.

So 9pm this evening, we're heading back and gonna pump some iron (I'm sorry I know that is sooooo cheesy).

I Shall update you all once I get back, or possibly in the morning depending on whether or not I'm alive afterwards, the only thing I've committed to for 3 days in a row is a takeaway, so this is new territory for me.

Flabs Away!
