Hello,
I joined the gym last week and I feel embarrassed when there.
I am the fattest person there. All the girls are small and thin. I feel right out of place and I feel like people stare at me. Infact I know some were staring.
Another thing is I don't know what equipment I should to use to help my weight loss.
I am 12.5 stone 5ft 4. I warm up then start slowly on the treadmill, building up to a fast walk for 20 mins. I can't jog it's too embarrassing as I am heavy on my feet so it would sound like a herd of elephants had arrived. I will then spend 20 mins on the exercise bike doing one of those programmes that gets harder then a bit easier then hard again. 10 mins I will do on the rowing machine. Last 10 mins on the cross trainer. I don't know how to use weight machines so I stay away as I am afraid I injure myself.
I have an induction booked but it's not for another week and I think the induction involves showing you the equipment, explaining etiquette and that.
I don't want to see a personal trainer because I am weak and unfit and I would end up getting in a state about it as I know I'd show myself up.
When I go to the gym I like to listen to my ipod or watch the tvs and do my thing.
Thanks for reading.
