Day two in the gym and I have to say that I am feeling fantastic. I had my induction yesterday and I was speaking to a trainer who specialised in post natal exercise, who took one look at me and realised that I was in a bit of pain and who advised me not to use the machines such as cross trainer and not to go head in to metafit like I had planned on doing this morning.
I know what i shouldn't be doing but I just want to jump back in, head first! I can't though and I have made appointment with Physio which will take between 7-11 weeks to come through although I should be seeing the podiatrist next week some time who may just refer me on and the next step would be seeing a consultant. So until then, its a case of taking it easy... This is killing me but after trying to get up off the floor with the baby this afternoon and falling back, I realise the need for caution and rather than doing any more hard to my body that its best to wait rather than end up not being able to walk.
Tonight when I was in the gym, i did a walk/run on the treadmill, used the bike and set myself up for a few og the gym challenges, which consist of burning 5000 calories before christmas which really isn't ging to be that difficult. I am also doing a cycling challenge and am now part of a team adn I have downloaded an app that works with the gym equipment and is called "mywellness". It tracks the calories burned, activity,effort level etcand it will be a great motivator I am sure. I enter in my height and weight which are 5feet"2 , and 83.9kg. The absolute heaviest that I have ever been in my life but that is about to change.
So that's my progress so far. How are you all doing with your fitness challenges this week?
