Well its certainly getting easier that's for sure...circuit training. You know the one. 10ish exercise stations around the egde of the studio. Chest flyes and star jumps and such the like. I've only been to the work gym one, which I can imagine is more low key than being trained by ex-army instructors at David Lloyd (this statement about DL purely based on my imagination and fear). In all seriousness, it offers an all around fitness to burn calories and tone. The only problem is, the class is frequented by wannabee Olympic medallists and fitness freaks who do classes so as to avoid their spouses.

The proof is in the eating (nice pun for a diet blog). I got weighed and measured today. No weight loss, but 1cm off the waist and thigh, 1cm ON the bust (?) and 0.5 on the hips. Water retention, the weather, who knows. Nothing to worry about after only 2 weeks on an 'exercise only' programme.
