Hi

I've been really stressed out off late and its been suggested that if I went to the gym it would help me feel less stressed. Also I lack confidence in myself and apparently knowing you are doing something good for your body gives you a real boost.

The thing is I know is sounds wussy but I know I dont look great and know I'm not as fit as I could be and I'm scared of what the first visit would be like.

I do have an exercise bike but find it boring to use but apparently the gym isn't boring

whats going to the gym like?

    Excercise does wonders for your mood. I'm not a gym person, I'd rather be training for my sport. So it's all good.

    gym is okay, when you get into a routine you do notice progress and enjoy it, swimming is good fun as well......oh and the first time you go you should get an induction so you see how the machines work.......and if you go in off-peak hours there aren't as many people around......

    Gyms are boring, but having your own music player helps a lot!!

    I'd prefer running inthe open - I also just bought roller blade but have to learn to skate, but should be good excercise as well once you know how.
