[Mio]

Am really looking forward to it - I mean, I managed to climb the three flights of stairs to my office last week without being out of breath AND without knee pain for the first time ever! Have been doing it every day since and the feeling of accomplishment is amazing. Really looking forward to seeing what else I can do

Gym was really good (shame the staff were about as useful as a chocolate teapot *rolls eyes*)

Took it easy with 10 mins on bike and treadmill, 10 mins resistence weights and a cool down. Would've nipped into the stream room if I'd known it was there beforehand but didn't bring my cossie and they're mixed sex *lol* They had an aromatherapy room too which felt wonderful so will remember for next time ;-)

Glad you enjoyed it Mio!

My gym closed down last month so I may have to rejoin the more expensive one which I pass everyday - oh well needs must!

[Mio]
