I've never heard of strong lifts! It sounds interesting.
I'm trying to persuade myself that I should include pilates / yoga / other serious stretching in my weekly routine, but when I try I tend to feel like I've wasted time, not burnt many calories.
That said, I went to a 90 min yoga class on the weekend because my usual pump class was still cancelled for Christmas and it was much harder from a heart rate perspective than I'd expected. I was able to hold most of the positions, but didn't like the surrounding mirrors proving how my body fat hangs as I put it in non upright positions.
I've never had a personal trainer lecture me about my weight and I've been much more overweight than you. Do they lecture or is that simply your expectation because doctors tend to?
And finally, go you! I hope you find a way to enjoy it. I particularly enjoy the social aspect these days - running into all the same people both at the London gym and on client site in Warwick. I look forward to seeing people I am now just occasionally seeing apart from the workouts.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
