After 3 months, I started going to gym; I was compulsive and prepared the exercise chart too for daily entry. First day it was normal (no pain) because I did jogging and simply stretching my muscles, second day I want to stress my muscles little bit so decided to jog for 2 km, 1000 meters rowing, doing some weights for chest & shoulder, bars, pushups, inclined situps(abdomen).
Jogging, I ran constantly @ the speed of 7 km/hr for 18 minutes and completed the 2.28 km without any pain; as I am running in treadmill it will urge you to take the 5 minutes cool down. Totally 2.48 km in 23 minutes (I know it is not good timing but I felt great to complete this much in second day & first time).
Rowing, target is to complete the 1000 meters in 5 minutes; I concetrated, struggled and when I complete the 1000 meters the time was 5:16 minutes, if I maintain the constant speed then I would have achieved the 5 minutes but erroneously I picked up fast in first 2 minutes which made my muscles tired and unsupportive for the next 3 minutes, next time I need to follow invariant speed.
Chest, I dont want my muscle to cry in the second day, so I did bench with less weight.
Shoulder, same like chest passed easily with less weight (making ready for future weeks)
Double bar, first thing strike my mind was why shouldn’t I try it because I believed my shoulders are strong enough to hold my own weight (obviously I forget I am overweight, HA! HA! HA! ) then comes the price I am not able to push after 5th count, hands are shaking and finally I completed with 3 sets of 5 each.
Till here I am half way through;
Pushups, “Hey! I am good at it” so I took it with full confidence and when I was in count 11, know what happened? I was lying in the floor, my hands are shaking more approriate word is dancing; but I didn’t give up and either moved from count 11, completed 3 sets with 10 counts each.
Inclined situps(abdomen), “I am zero in this” it was horrible like I went to hell 3 times and came back; I mean 3 sets with random counts in each sets; average 6 counts.
Anyway, it was good experience & will improve slowly… know, by who I am inspired? Hrithik & Surya… ( HA! HA! HA! HA! know what? my weight is 78 kg)
