Listen to this freakos, Batman has joined a gym.

I usually go for a bit of a workout every couple of days, but today I was wild and went the second day in a row! 3 miles on a treadmill just walking fast might not sound much, but I was feeling it a bit at the end. Had sweat dripping into my shirt even with a huge fan and the AC on. Yet next to me were these men obviously much healthier than me running pretty fast. It's one of the reasons I have avoided the treadmills, but you have to start from somewhere and 3 miles is better than 1 or even 2. I moved on to a heavier set of dumbbells too. You can feel them more and you can see my skinny arms doing the work with veins popping out all over the place. Would like to lift the bar weight, but I am still too shy to go anywhere near that. Sometimes I wish there was an instructor there to teach me about form and technique. Kind of on your own in there.

Batman how is your gym work going? What kind of routine are you doing in there? As a fellow beginner it might be good to share ideas as I don't really have a clue half the time. Just seem to do a bit on each of the machines, do the dumbells and now brave enough to go on the treadmill. Was in there 90 minutes today! Usually do just 30-40 minutes of weights, but the treadmill takes up time.

I would be on a machine behind you and my eyes 👀 would look like headlights

@Gandalf

yeah it's going alright at the moment, I'm trying to go 3 times a week (although I didn't go on Thursday due to being hungover to fuck so I actually went out for a short run on the evening instead)

I'm not doing much at the moment, I've started C25K and have just finished the first week on that so I'm going to be starting week 2 tomorrow, it's worth taking a look at if you are interested on the treadmills and are very much a beginner.

week one is 8 reps of running for 60 seconds walking for 90 seconds, week two is 8 reps of running for 90 seconds and walking for 2 minutes, week three is 2 reps of 90 seconds running and 90 seconds walking then run for three minutes walking for three minutes

etc, the goal is to get you to run 5k in 9 weeks

once I've done that I do 30 minutes on the exercise bike

Its not much but as you say everyone has to start somewhere

[Gandalf]

It sounds good, probably burning a lot of calories with that. You are very brave for going all in with running from the off. Honestly, the guys lifting weights and those running with good technique on the treadmills embarrass me a bit. Keep at it. Totally feeling it after 90 minutes yesterday, need a proper day off to rest.

You have to enjoy it somewhat, why bother with treadmills? Just limber up, try skipping rope or doing some dynamic stretching and the like. Eat less shit in order to keep drinking and still get results. I would ice all of you mother fuckers, lights out paper champs.
