Thank you for all the kind comments.
I'm still plodding on - literally, upgraded to a fitbit Surge from a Charge (I like technology
), so getting my steps in. I've pledged to 10k a day for December, rather than a sporadic 5-8. So far, so good, including a short break in London, where I did 46k in 2 days.
I finished a government-funded, doctor's-referral, 12-week gym programme yesterday, and today went to the private gym where I'd bought a year's membership back in April. I only did the 2 months before my health took a downer but they've been very kind and paused the membership, so I still have 10 months to run. The trainer today was mean! Well, he tried to be. He's put me down for
Treadmill - 10 minutes at a higher speed and higher incline than I'd been doing the last 12 weeks.
Battle Ropes - never met them before, very hard work. 5 sets of 20.
Upright Bike - 10 minutes, level 4, alternating 30 seconds fast/30 seconds moderate
Rowing Machine - 5 minutes, level 6/7, 30 seconds fast last blast
Squat and Full Shoulder Thrust with a 3kg dumbbell. 3 sets of 15 each side.
Recumbent Bike - 10 minutes, level 4, all moderate.
It's a huge step up for me but I'm going to give it my best shot!
