I was just wondering whether anyone had been exercising whilst on LL and how it has affected you?
Back in November I decided to join my local gym and signed up on a 12 month contract for £25. At the time the thought of doing a VLCD was furthest from my mind and I planned to do something like WW combined with exercise.
All the best laid plans and all that but at the time I was going through a relationship breakup and finally broke up with the guy 4 weeks ago. I retreated to the comfort of my home to lick my wounds and the diet and gym went out of the window. This was accompanied by a spell of introspection which has prompted me to want to complete the LL journey I didn't finish in 2006. I am now waiting confirmation of a start date from my local LLC.
I wasn't too bothered about the gym contract because my gym fee wasn't taken and I thought they'd lost the paperwork. However checking my bank today they've taken 2 payments - November and December so it looks like I'm committed.
I didn't do any exercise the first time round and I wonder whether people have done so and whether they felt ok doing it. I know the official LL line is to not change your exercise levels drastically when you go on a VLCD but I really don't want to waste the £25 per month.
I have done my induction sessions and now just need to set up a programme with the instructors. I wonder whether if I went along I might be better to just use the membership for toning rather than cardio in the weight loss stages of the programme and then build in more cardio once I move to RTM and maintenance. I am a bit worried about explaining LL to an intstructor (who would probably advocate healthy eating and exercise) and why I only want toning and no cardio exercises.
Any advise would be gratefully appreciated
