I have been toying with the idea of joining a gym for about a year now and finally took the plunge this afternoon. Quite excited but also rather scared! Unfortunately I haven't been able to book in for my full health MOT and gym induction for a couple of weeks so have been adviced not to use the gym equipment until then and just use the pool and classes.
I have no idea what to expect from the classes as regard how difficult they are so would really appreciate any feedback from any of you that already go to the gym. I don't *think* I am that unfit anymore - I do regular 9 mile walks/ hikes with OH and do exercise DVDs such as 30 day shred and a couple of Davina ones. The Davina ones are fun but not very challenging any more and 30 day shred is harder but still doable - when I first did it a year or so ago I pretty much had to colapse on the sofa after it but these days I tend to have a glug of water and then tidy the living room or cook dinner straight afterwards. How do they different exercise classes at your gym compare to exercise DVDs in terms of difficulty? Am I going to be a horrendeous sweaty, panting mess at the back of the room??
Thanks in advance for any responses.
