Gym

Well I started at the gym yesterday. It wasn't too hard at all yesterday. I had to fill out all the paperwork and go through the initial evaluation. Figuring out BMI and percentage of fat in my body, getting starting weight, all that stuff. They took my blood pressure and checked my heart rate too. That's where we hit a small problem. My heart rate, resting, was 102. I was tachycardic.
They were hesitant to even have me do anything. But I told them I felt ok, so they had me do 15 minutes on the treadmill. He started it at 2 mph. I felt like I was crawling. He eventually put it up to 2.5 and then 3 mph. He then had me do an exercise where I just stand from sitting, I had to do 2 sets of 10 of those. Originally I thought that was a really stupid exercise and did nothing, but by the end, it was hurting quite a bit in my thighs. I go back tomorrow. I'm curious to see what we do then.
