Hey Yvonne, Congrats on the inches lost!!!! WTG!!
Went for my first workout today. It went great. I was very pleased to be able to use all the machines without stressing painful tendons and joints.
I decided to weigh in without my shoes on, since shoes can very greatly in weight. They took measurments, but I'm not as confident in how the measurments were taken. I'm afraid they may have difficultly remembering exactly where the tape measure was placed for re-measurment. I think I will back things up by taking my own measurements as I can be sure to measure the same each month.
I felt good after the workout. I wasn't TO tired, yet I could tell I had a good workout. So far, my arthritis pain has not increased..so that's a positive. I love the 30 seconds per station idea. It prevents me from overworking on any single area. I found the machine that worked me the hardest was the "squat" machine. I was told to go down very quickly (2 seconds) and then start to push up, as it is the pushing up motion that is the most important on that machine. That one always increased my heart rate.
I will go back tomorrow as long as my joints are ok in the morning. Looking forward to it. It's actually FUN!!!! Whoaaaa....did I say that???? LOL!
