Until recently I think I must have been THE most unfit person in Reading. I couldn't have even run up the stairs without getting out of breath!
I've tried going to the gym so many times before but have always given up a few weeks into it.
In November I got asked to take part in the Santa Jog in Prospect Park to help raise money for the British Heart Foundation. Actually, if I remember correctly I wasn't asked at all...I was told I was doing it by my boss!
Being so unfit I was reluctant to agree but Fia promised to help me and go running with me, so I said yes.
With her help and the help of a personal trainer, I successfully completed the 2k run without stopping and what's more really enjoyed it! It was the most amazing feeling to have accomplished something which I had previously thought was impossible.
I have kept up my running and yesterday upped my distance and completed a 3k run without stopping. Now, I'm thinking about running the Reading Half Marathon next year!
So anyway, my point is you really CAN achieve something you might think is impossible if you set your mind to it and exercise CAN be fun, so give it a go!
PS, if you don't like running, I hear pole dancing can be good for you too, or maybe not....
