This afternoon I attended an ICT updates meeting at the beautiful Hestercombe which meant I was on the wrong side of town to go to my usual gym. My Buzz card allows me to use other local facilities so I took the chance to use the gym at the Wellsprings Leisure Centre.
I have visited this establishment on two other occasions, the first time to watch Flavia and Vincent perform their magical dancing and the second visit was for a Christmas work do. The former event i would attend every day of the week, the second, hopefully, never again. This time a very nice young man showed me where to go and I have to say I was impressed.
On the plus side, private changing cubicles, bliss. I'm quite happy with my body, after all I do work hard to keep it in shape, however when one has to change into a sports bra one does not want the children you have been teaching all day to notice that certain parts of ones body are no longer where nature intended! On gym days I head out of school to the gym as quickly as I can which means I'm at the gym at the same time as all the after school activities.
On the down side, the treadmills were further back from the TV screens which meant I couldn't read the subtitles! And, a young woman right in front of me was climbing a stepping machine with such enthusiasm that her bobbing up and down and swaying from side to side had me feeling quite dizzy. I was quite sure if she kept up that pace she would soon be climbing a stairway to heaven!
Until next time...
