Hi guys :wave_cry:
I've had a few setbacks on my exercise regime and I need to start over.
When I was younger (I'm 27) I would exercise a lot, waitress and be very active by going to the gym and doing kickboxing and various videos. (And I thought I was fat then, ha!). I was such a gym bunny but over the years and putting on over 2 stone (now 11), I just can't handle it anymore.
I joined a gym and had an initial assessment and a fairly easy programme mapped out for me to get up to speed. But although I could see, from my previous exercise experience, that the programme was very easy, physically it was an absolute nightmare to perform. I was almost sick, and I wasn't even pushing myself that hard. I was so embarrassed, I only went back once more and I\m wasting an expensive membership.
I've never got on with routines that trainers have written as I always knew my own body and limits well enough to write my own and get the results I wanted but it's all gone out the window and my motivation and self-esteem are shot.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an absolute beginners build up programme and any tips on motivation and sticking power?
I'd love to hear of anyone experiencing the same thing and how they cleared the hurdle.
Thanks - Kiekie
