Bumps along somehow
Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if this programme is done everywhere.
I've read the info pamphlet and have a GP appt next week to try and sign up for it.
What it is is you get a personal trainer for x14 weeks for a minimum of 2x per week. It is particularly aimed at people who are morbidly obese and those of us with Special Needs. A programme is decided upon and after 3 months it is hoped that people will have confidence and knowledge enough to haul ourselves down to to the Sports Centre on our own.
I'm quite excited by this as I enjoy the Gym but:
a) Feel so self conscious, being the biggest person in the place and KNOWING that everyone else is looking at me and feeling relieved it isn't them or with the thoughts of " how could she let herself get like that", I expect that a lot of people can relate to that.
b) I get carried away with the adrenaline rush which then causes the mania side of my Bipolar Disorder. If I only go twice per week this should not happen.
It is good for people with physical problems and disabilities too because the trainers have been educated to be able to provide suitable exercises.
It also includes things like water areobics. I love swimming, but never taught my son to swim properly (something I always regret:sigh. Luckily his PE teacher was a colleague of mine (at that time) at school took him under his wing and taught him.
Just the thought of being so exposed in a swimming cossie has always filled me with such anxiety and self loathing - even though I love it, the anxiety before I go is usually too much to bear and I find a reason not to go. Not only am I big but covered in tattoos (misspent youth!). It is the only time I regret them as not only am I the big one to notice I feel I stand out all the more (this is not quite as bad since tattoos on women became fashionable). I really hope that knowing someone is with me will help my confidence.
If this is available everywhere it might be of interest to people.
