Weight management programme patients
When I first started on weight management I was unfit, so when I started on gym work I was only able to do 3 exercises. So, I was informed to do it slowly which I did.
As I got fitter, I gained my confidence and stopped running myself down, so by the time I had my operation I was doing the circuits 3 times a week and was able to do the 12 exercises twice on each circuit. When I had my operation, I continued to do the exercises until I finished my course.
I now took to doing the walk leaders role, this is GOOD for me as we have a GOOD walk and meet up with other people from the weight management program. I really wish more people would come as I had to start at the beginning, and I would like to pass on my experience and help others.
