I must admit, although i have been going to the gym around 3-4 times a week for the last 4 months, i realised today that it’s only ever been half hearted. I got up today after a nice long sleep in and decided i should go to the gym (i’d slacked off even more so the last week despite being excited about this program). So as i started to get my gym gear ready i had already sub conciously decidedthat it wasn’t going to be a full work out, as my muscles have been quite sore the last two days but neveer the less i went. When i got to the gym i decided that i would start Mish’s learn to run program and off i went, after i finished 15 minutes i had burnt close to 200 calories. So next it was the bike followed by the cross trainer and by then end of that my watch said 500 calories and wow was i stoked. It was then i realised i just couldn’t help myself i jumped straight back on to the treadmill andpumped out another 15 minutes. It was then i started getting closer and closer to 1000 calories and i was loving it. I ran as hard as i could and for as long as i could and wow did i work up a sweat.
In the end, after 1 hour and 10 minutes i had burned over 1000 calories. And it struck me, what if i trained this hard every time, i would already weigh a lot less than i do now. This might seem silly to some people but it was a big moment for me today, i got home from the gym the most buggered i think i had ever been and yet in such a positive mood
Ahh i think i finally found my love for the gym
