Am I just too old?

Decided I had to do something by way of getting fit so I dragged my friend along to Legs Bums and Tums last night, it was hard work but not OTT by way of exercise iyswim but when I came out I felt terribly ill and had to pull over and was sick three times.

This has put me off going again as clearly my body just couldn't take it to do something as drastic as to make me violently sick. Also I have a vomit phobia so as you can imagine it was a horrifying experience for me and so I am quite reluctant to repeat the experience.

Did I overdo it do you think? I just feel so old, unfit and to be honest defeated. I am 34 but feel like I'm 64 the way I am aching this morning.

Did you warm up and do stretches?

If not I am not surprised!

or maybe you have a bug

Not too old, just unfit. You overdid it and obviously need to do something a bit more gentle to start with.

No don't think its a bug as I felt perfectly fine before I went in and felt better as soon as I had got it out (without being too graphic).

Believe me I don't suffer tummy bugs very easily and have a strong stomach normally (vomit phobia sees to this) but it was like my body felt like it had to take some drastic action in order to stop me doing it.

My friend didn't even break into a sweat and I have done more exercise than she has but she is 10 years younger than me.
