I went to the gym with my brother again today. I now am the proud owner of a three-month subscription to the gym. They recorded all my information, including my height (165cm), weight (59kg), blood pressure (too high) and fat percentage (15%). You know you wanted all the dirty details :-P
Although the guy guiding me through the various procedures was pretty friendly I got the feeling he was talking to me as if I was a little kid. I guess it was the routine maybe?
All I know was that the girl who explained everything when I signed up for the three-month subscription was a lot nicer. She had a good icebreaker though. Apparently she sort of knew me. I must've seen her hundreds of times on the bus back when I was at my old school four years ago. I recognized her, but she looked pretty different from what I remembered. In the bus she always looked kinda angry. Now she was smiling and laughing a lot more. A person changing like that always surprises me somehow.
I completed one of two tests required to determine a suitable program. I ... peddled (?) my heart out (almost literally, thanks Elgan :-) on a bike and after twenty-five minutes of peddling my heartbeat was around 185. When I stopped I think all the blood rushed away from my brain, because I was feeling really light headed. The guy guiding me through the test told me to peddle slowly for a minute or so to cool down. That helped a lot. I also did a cool down after doing some exercises with my brother and when I went home I didn't get a headache :-)
Although I'm sticking with my previous entry, I don't feel so gloomy anymore. I think this fitness thing is going to work out great. I've noticed it also helps to keep the dark and gloomy thoughts away.
Today I did the endurance test and tomorrow I'm doing a test to measure my strength, or more accurately, the lack there of.
