Just Call Me JellyLegs!

I am back from my first full session at the gym. In fact it was not even a full session. Elijah gave me my 1 hour induction, and we did 2 sets of each of the exercises that he suggested for me (instead of the usual 3). I couldn't even manage some of them the first time, let alone three lots of 12! I have balance issues, and some of the exercises really challenged me on this, especially the squats with the kettle weights which he "kindly" saved until the end! Despite the fact that, in my first half hour induction, I told him I wanted to work on my upper body (arms, chest and abs) he insisted on putting in a lot of leg exercises. It went to show today that I obviously need those exercises to be completely fit, but that is not what I am interested in. I don't really give a shit about being fit, I just want to look good. My legs are fine to look at. The knees are only slightly knobbly now, as opposed to when I was younger and they looked like a skinny kids Adam's apple in the middle of each leg!
I found some of the stuff to be a bit embarrassing. I hate doing exercise in full view of others. When I use machines it is always the one furthest away from anyone else. But he had me doing stuff in the middle of the exercise mats and walking squats, right at the end, on the actual running track that runs around the gym floor! I was mortified when I couldn't do them without taking so many rests! I felt like such a wimp.

Despite my unease and embarrassment, I will continue with his exercise plan until I feel that it isn't working for me. In the mean time I have my second, and final, half-hour induction with him again on Tuesday of next week.
At the end of our session today, I had hoped that I would go off in the gym and do some other stuff, but I was too knackered. I almost came a cropper when I took the first step down the stairs towards the changing room as my leg nearly gave way. Now THAT would have been embarrassing.

I took a shower and, upon Elijah's advise as I don't have a bath at home that I can soak in, I went into the sauna. Well, that was my plan, but I saw a cute guy go in the steam room first, so I popped in there. Pretty soon it was obvious that we were both interested (towels are indiscreet that way!) and just as we were about to take it further an old guy came in and the cute guy left. I went into the sauna for a couple of minutes and then got changed and walked (slowly) home.
My legs feel really weak, so I won't be walking down to Holland & Barrett to get creatine as I had intended (I had also intended to ask Elijah what he thinks about creatine, but forgot). I'll get it tomorrow. And I will also have a rest from the gym tomorrow. Three days in a row is enough I think.
What I need now is a night out, or, even better, a romantic night in snuggling on the sofa in front of the telly in the arms of a sexy man. Yeah, right!
