exercise is underway

Nov 17, 2009

Last week Nick ( my 7yo son) and I went to the local YMCA and joined.  On both W & F I walked 1 mile and 1.25 miles respectively.

Saturday I drug my DH, Erick, to the Y for a one hour orientation of how to use the machines.  A trainer walked us around and showed us the machines and how to adjust them.  I will never remember how to use them.  I need to either find a friend who is comfortable with them or pay for a trainer.  I wouldn't mind someone writing a workout regiment to help me work on muscle toning.  

Yesterday, Nick and I walked another 1.25 miles. (well he jogged circles around me!) 

Today was the big one...I tried a "Beginner's Spinning" group class.  After about 10 minutes I was tearing up and wanted to walk away.  I struggled to do anything.  I could stand up and sit down while adjusting the resistance, but I can not 'hover'  It made me feel a bit defeated.  I decided to close my eyes and just do what I could do.  Most of the time I sat and just pedaled.  I would keep up with the reisistance and the pace.  I found the sprints to be confidence building when they were finished.
