Me mates got me a gym membership for christmas, and I just went for the first time. I’m pretty overweight, and earlier on in the year I was nervous about going because my knees are in bad shape, and I literally did not want to get stuck in the pool and be unable to climb out. Since then I’ve lost 3 stone and my knees are a little more cooperative.

No worries, thankfully. I hopped in and hopped straight out. Actually, the word “hopped” is probably giving the wrong impression, it was more of a lumber. Anyway, I swam a few laps (ok 4) and had a run through the jacuzzi and the steam room. lovely.

Heading back in tomorrow for another little trip. Nothing too long or strenuous, better not burn out
