I'm morbidly obese . I'm horribly, horribly fat . I'm dyspraxic, and terrified of exercising - to the point I've seriously deconditioned myself and get out of breath just walking 2 miles to the shops .

BUT -

I've just finished a whole hour of pilates !!

I wobbled, groaned and hyperventilated my way through . At one point I seriously thought I was going to vomit . My arms are still shaky and my legs have almost given up . I'm enormously relieved the class was done on zoom . I totally failed several exercises and had to grip onto the table leg a few times ...

But I did it !!!

Totally finished the class - huge smile on my face - and looking forward to next week !!

YANBU! Well done Smile

Well done, that is a huge achievement and you sounded like you really enjoyed it. Pilates are difficult when you first start off but over the coming weeks, you will become very good at the exercises and you'll be getting fitter. You should be very proud of yourself 👍

Well done, sounds like you enjoyed it and feel proud of yourself too. Keep going!

Bloody well done man. Hard parts over, keep it up Grin

That is amazing. I am not overweight, but am unfit and I would find 15 minutes an achievement! You did an hour!!!

Orchidflower1 · 05/05/2021 21:04

Well done!!! 😀

Yey, go you! That's an awesome achievement 🙌 Pilates is so hard but totally worth it

Bloody awesome. Well done. Keep going.

Pomped · 05/05/2021 21:31

🙌 bravo!! You will ACHE tomorrow, and maybe the next day, hell maybe even the one after that, but that’s a good ache! Get your steps up whenever you can and keep up the brilliant work. I’m also overweight and know the first steps are quite literally the hardest.

mommybear1 · 05/05/2021 21:33

Well done OP

Apileofballyhoo · 05/05/2021 21:35

Well done.
Try a bath tonight.
After my first class I'd to walk down the stairs backwards my legs ached - it worked if your legs are wobbly tomorrow.
