Body by You - first workout so tough! Tell me it gets better?

[bolshieoldcow]

Basically that's it - I bought the Body By You book as I want to do some strengthening and conditioning work while I try to lose weight but don't want to go to the gym. It all looked quite innocuous…a few squats, some bends, some modified push-up type things. 20 minutes and you're done.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I know I'm out of shape, and 4+ stone overweight but my legs were completely shaky when I was finished.

I'm both embarrassed at how hard I found it at the really easy level and worried about how I'll get on when I have to do it all again at the weekend.

Anyone been there, done that? Any words of encouragement?

I haven't done that, but I'm to buy a copy. I've done convict conditioning in the past which is similar and I found that the first few sessions are really tough but that you improve very very quickly to a level that makes it a lot more manageable.
