Well I braved it! I joined the gym / toning studio this morning. Induction was free so a full session free is a good start LOL
I managed 6 minutes on the exercise bike. I could have done more but I didn't push for it seeing as it was the induction. Then went on all the toning beds working against them with muscles pulled in and tight. Lots of weird sensations LOL, but enjoyable. It beats throwing myself around in an exercise class!
So I'm booked in for Friday morning. I'm going to try and go twice a week, and at £4 a session, it's not too bad. I'm aiming to work up to half an hour on the bike before I add the treadmill in, and then there's the stepper, skiing thing and rowing machine to add in after those. They also have one of those vibrating plate things but that scared the hell out of me LOL. I didn't try it, but watching someone on it was bad enough.
I'm going to take my measurements when I get back from picking my little one up from nursery and keep a record on my blog to see how quick the inches come down. I know it won't help lose weight unless I'm using all the gym machines, but I'll increase what machines I use over the next few months.
I feel pretty good to be honest, although I'm sure my muscles will let me know all about it tomorrow!
