Still grumpy about the gym
I see I was grumpy about the new arrangements at the gym I go to some while ago, and some months down the line from the change of management they are still rearranging the equipment on an almost daily, it seems, basis, which is irksome enough. So there is a fascinating (??) game of hunt the [thing] pretty much every time I go.
They are also continuing to remove various items of equipment that impact my programme, and while I have found substitutions/workarounds I'm not entirely thrilled by all this.
But at least one of my issues goes back before the change, when I had my assessment and a new programme devised, and flagged up very prominently my neck and shoulder concerns -
And while I think the actual things I am down to do on the programme are probably okay, there are contextual problems with setting things up that I don't think got entirely taken into account when drawing the thing up.
Principally, even if I didn't have neck and shoulder issues, I'm not sure a person of my size, build and age is ideally suited to heaving 20 kilo weights on and off the leg press machine, even without the really awkward positioning....
I am beginning to regret having taken them up on what looked, at the time, like a really great deal to pay in advance for 3 years (a system that I had previously subscribed to) somewhat over a year ago.
I do not want to give up all forms of exercise, but neither this, nor yoga, is entirely meeting my needs at present. This entry was originally posted at https://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2743796.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
