A short and sweet post to start the morning before I scoot off to do that thing called work!
Went to the gym yesterday and i'm feeling so much better for it. I can really see how your body and mindframe can come to rely on sweating out the frustrations of the day. Managed 50mins on the treadmill yesterday before my ankles started to get a little sore. I really want to push myself to hit that 60 minute mark but am a little afraid that if I push to hard i'll end up injuring myself and losing all motivation. So for now easy as she goes, I figure as along as i'm getting my heart rate up and am having to push a little to reach a new goal each day then i'm doing okay.
I've been looking at some of the classes the gym offers too. They do all the Les Mills stuff and i'm really liking the sound of Body Combat. I think I need to get my fitness level up a little bit more before I attempt one of those but i'm looking forward to giving it a go in the next few weeks.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Try body pump. You can start with just the bar, you will get your heart rate up, but it isn't unbearable, and it is good for strength without the bulk. You really have to concentrate on the tummy muscles too. If you are doing lots of cardio in the gym, pump is a good alternative. Still involves cardio though! And ANYONE can do it!
ooh thanks for the tip, I will definitely look into it sounds like it is exactly what i'm looking for :)
