Bit of a Crappy Gym Session

This morning I went to the gym for my assessment, and all was going well, I was getting along well with the trainer, had my measurements taken and had started going through the obligatory "how fit are you" bits and pieces - pushups, sit ups and wall sit.

All of that is generally no problem, except just as I started doing a sit up, I managed to get a bloody nose!! WTF!  I never get these!! I have had maybe 5 in my life!! I have to admit, I was more than a little embarrassed... I had blood all over my face a nd a bit on my t-shirt... awkward...

I have been feeling all hot and flustered over the last week and have been 'overheating' when others have been cold, so I think it must all be tied in with that.  The problem is, I wanted to do my gym workout... so I did!

Admittedly I was feeling pretty crappy through the whole thing, and paranoid my nose was going to start bleeding all over the equipment, but I got through it and I didn't do my full workout, I finished with 5 mins on the bike instead of 10. Overall, I burned 253 calories, so that's good enough for me.

Overall my assessment was as I expected (results wise at least!) in that I still can't do sit ups, and it turns out I have lost a lot of upper strength, so I can't do push ups anymore.  My wall sit only lasted for a few seconds, but that was mostly due to my knee I think.

I am going back on Monday to have a bit of a PT and to put a program together.  The trainer has suggested that I do mostly weights there and finish witha  bit of cardio and then walk on the other days that I am not there... While I see the benefit of the walks, I am concerned that this is going to ramp it up a bit too much for me time/stress wise and I am unsure... I want to do it, I just don't want to burn myself out.

On the upside, I am looking forward to doing weights again... I love doing weights!!  I'm not a fan of cardio, but do it because I should! lol
