Not bad for a fat chick!

So, I went to the Gym. They got me in at the time I would normally go in, so I knew how many people would be around. I had a good look, signed up and organised a personal training session for the next morning. (Mostly so she could write me a program and show me the equipment)

Then I decided to have a go on the equipment. Well, I knew how to work the treadmill. So I had a go on that. Then jumped on a bike, and I couldn't even turn the stupid thing on. So I gave up and went home!

Next day, I went back and meet my personal trainer. Then went through some equipment with me. I did ok. My upper body is weak! The most I could lift was 26kgs. But, that's a good thing. It's something to work on! Then she took me to the leg press machine. She told me that she could leg press 100kgs. Then I tried, and she kept upping the weight (as they do) till I could find it a bit tougher. 91kgs! Woohoo. Not bad for someone who had only ever seen that machine on TV.

So I have a few new aims. Improve my upper body strength. And to out leg press my personal trainer in 3 months. :)

Oh and apparently, that bike was dodgy and they have been having a lot of trouble with it.
