Pretty much since I started going to the gym, I’ve been doing glutes exercises since they were recommended by my physio. I thought I was doing pretty well with them. Then I tried a new workout in the Fitness on Request room at the gym called Kinetics and have obviously gone overboard because my bottom is so sore. That’s at 2.5 days after that workout. I’m still going to the gym but haven’t done the same exercises. The workout included lots of squats and lunges. While I can’t keep up with the number done in the workout, I did quite a few of them and must have used a lot of muscles that I haven’t been using. So I’m quite sore. Despite this I found it was a workout that I kind of liked and felt I might one day get used to doing. And I particularly liked the fact that the person in the video doing the easy option really was showing the easier option most of the time. On the spin bike video the easy option person doesn’t do the workout that much differently to the others. I hope I’m feeling better tomorrow because I’d like to try this workout again soon.

Meanwhile, my weight loss isn’t really going very far after five months of dedicated exercise and I’m frustrated at times. It’s not that I’m not losing the centimeters (I am although that has plateaued a bit) but the weight is mostly still there. At the moment my loss is less than 4kgs. My original goal was supposed to be an effortless 1 kg a month…effortless so long as I stuck to my exercise…which I have done. My overall loss hasn’t quite reached this goal and I seem to be a bit stuck right now.
