So anyone who has ever been overweight will know all about what I'm about to say. You know when you start a new exercise class and the PT instructor gives you that LOOK you know the one I mean?........"the ha ha ha she is having a laugh" look "she will never make it through my class" look. Well that is exactly the look I got. Friday bootcamp.... I walked up to the door feeling very paranoid looking at the skinny minnies surrounding me and thinking OMG what am I doing? Got to the door and the PT stood there looking at me waiting for his money.......I got that look as he took my money and had a sly smile to himself.
He was young fit and slim and ex army.......I started to panic a little but I thought no your not going to get to me I am going to prove you wrong.....and I did just that.
I made it thought his rigorous circuit training........I ran round the room carrying a weighted back pack and i sprinted as though my life depended upon it.
Do you know what? I had the biggest reward of all at the end of the session..........The PT guy made a point of walking towards me and took my hand shook it and told me I had done very well and how impressed he was with me. Even asked if I was coming back the next week....Well Of course I am
It is so easy for people to misjudge a large person and their fitness he certainly did but the fact that he made a point of talking to me at the end really made me feel good.
