Boing!
Well, to drag this old chestnut up again (some folks showed genuine concern, so figured I'd keep those poeple updated - t'is only fair afterall).
I went to the gym last night, first time in probably 8 years!
Why did non of you warn me it frigging hurts! I managed a mile on the treadmill in something around 11mins (completely pathetic compared to how fit I used to be!). Then hit the bikes, rowing machine, weights (twinge in my back due to spinal injury incurred years ago - stopped as soon as it twinged), then on the god-awful thing called the "tread-climber."
Hips/thighs were killing me yesterday, and I'd burnt too many calories, so off to the pub to put some of them back.
Afterall, I'm in the gym for mental work, not really for fitness, and I don't need to loose weight.
In conclusion, it hurts (have I said that yet?), but it helped my head. A lot. So I shall be going again, and hopefully the pain will be slightly less each time.
