Twitching Muscles
A few weeks ago, I wrote, a bit of exercise wouldn't kill me.Think I will retract that statement
Tuesday evening, I attended a beginners fitness class,
Beginners my a**
Started with 5 reps of 8k kettle weight swings, 5 kettle squats with lift followed by 5 press ups, for 5 minutes.
From there we hit a circuit of 3 mins sit ups, 3 mins pull ups, 3 mins mountain climb, 3 mins kettle squats, finishing with 3 mins of pushing a heavy yoke the length of the room. My muscles were burning like hell
Was this really a beginners class
We then did 10 kettle swings, 10 kettle squats with lift, 10 push ups, and sprint to the other side of the room, then 9 of each & sprint, 8 of each & sprint, 7 etc until we hit 1.
Lastly, it was sit ups, at this point, I was glad just to lay on the floor, looking at the ceiling, and thank god, I didn't throw up or pass out or indeed quit.
That was Tuesday, and my muscles are still twitching, barely able to lift myself out of the chair, let alone lift another kettle weight - Doing the same next week,
woop woop, cant wait

My head thought it was a good idea,
My body, totally disagrees
all that you're doing is building muscle & toning....
what about increasing your fitness levels?
I watched programme last night about living longer fitter etc, a lot in the programme but reckoned walking 3 miles twice a week did more good than table tennic twice a week.
Table tennis got thumbs up for happier people as they made friends in group so they said
Me I have stopped going to gym I go to excercise class for oldies
Two ladies in 70s yes 70s take class. We excercise every muscle, play games for co-ardination, and chat and have tea and biccies afterward. I go walking most days talking to the ducks
it is worth the money and time to get your fitness plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Because if you get it right , no pain and the progresses are more visible and you're more motivated to continue and reach your goals!
And most importantly have fun and enjoy yourself
I will mind myself
Incu
Fitness level, probably around minus 20
UN - hey, long time no see,
The pain has gone now
Red ... will you be my fairy god mother, I love you
You talk sense all the time, how do you do that
I do think you are right, Im not quite ready for the church hall, but, walking, walking is the way to go
Seri... Yep, goals, makes sense, I really need to put more thought into this, work out, what I want, and how to achieve it
I know of one gentle routine
Is there some kind of sports (with clothes on) you like to do that is fun? I always liked Zumba.

Good to hear you're feeling better wolfie, I know how it is not to be able to walk down stairs and have people in work asking me what type of accident I had cause I couldn't walk.
I tried different things as well and will have to have a look when I have a bit more time again. Being fit actually feels good.
