We moved offices and into Bury BusinessLodge at the beginning of January. New year, new start.
The offices have great facilities, including a state of the art gym.
Always apprehensive when it comes to a gym I was determined that at some point I was going to use it. It's taken me a while but I finally broke down my own personal barriers last night and ventured on in.
I nearly didn't though, as I was concious that it might have a few too many people in there for my liking - I needed to be able to feel comfortable knowing my way around, to feel happy using the changing room and of course to make sure I didn't look a bit of a fool if I couldn't remember how to operate the machines!
Despite my anxiety, I managed it all.
My plan (because I haven't exercised for a long time) was to start with a 10 - 15 minute session on the treadmill. I got myself ready, started it all up, put on the TV and off I went. I was proud as punch to be able to push myself to a 30 minute session whilst watching "The Chase" - it whiled away the time and made the whole experience far easier.
I spent most of my time at a nice "power walking pace" but did try a couple of moments running too. You've got to start somewhere haven't you?
I am proud for pushing myself and I now know that I will not have a problem making the repeat visit two to three times per week.
The gym is incredibly clean and really easy to use. There was only myself and one other person in the whole time I was there, perfect for a self concious bod like me.
I actually feel quite focussed and am quite confident that I will stick to it going forwards.
The gym is just one of the great facilities available at Bury BusinessLodge
