Hi everyone
I have just joined a gym and shown how to use the bike, treadmill and cross trainer ( I have at least 4 stone to lose). Gym instructor put me down for 10 mins, 10 mins and 5 mins BUT I can only manage 6,3 and 1... Feeling pretty useless.. Has anyone else started slow like this but been able to build it up? My legs seem to be letting me down and I am recovering from a prolapsed lower disc so a bit scared of doing damage - my pulse already up to 163 well above range recommended.
This is payback for bunking off games at school all those years ago!
Any inspirational stories most welcome as it is taking me longer to get changed for the gym as opposed to the time spent on the equipment....
