[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1124637, member: 265172"] Went to the actual [I]gym[/I] half of the health club for the first time this morning - I usually only use the pool. Felt ever so self-conscious! Was shown how the treadmills and cross trainers work, and was shown - and did - some proper stretches. Am clueless so this was very useful. Had a 30-min walk/run on the treadmill - okay so it's boring in comparison with being outside, BUT it's important to me to have a level and springy surface to start with, just while I get my feet and legs used to the idea! The new shoes are fine - really pleased - and I'm aiming to NOT BREAK MY FEET like last time...... running on rural roads was not all that sensible for a complete beginner, it seems! So, slow and steady. Am aiming to alternate gym with swim, and I might do their Pilates class to stretch out my very tight muscles. Might as well give it a go as it's all paid for as part of my membership. :) [/QUOTE]
