Death by circuits

Mrs Saul and I went to 'circuits' on Sunday evening - running around a gym room doing press ups, tricep curls, squat thrusts and so on, accompanied by the music of Def Leppard and Scooter to encourage our efforts.

Some friends of our have been going for years and are all super-fit. I am not a sporty person, but I do enjoy exercise. Having some kind of regular training session make it all a bit easier to stick to, so we thought we'd give it a go.

I managed slightly better than I thought I would, even if I was totally exhausted by the end. Sunday's session happened to focus more on the muscle side of things and whilst my press ups towards the end would not have impressed a sergeant major, I did enjoy the experience.

All that changed on Monday morning however, when I woke up hardly able to move. It's now Tuesday afternoon and I am still aching, with another session later on today. I was thinking of giving it a miss, as I am finding it hard to sit down properly, let alone jump around a gym room, but was persuaded to continue.

Tomorrow I may well be 'working from bed', unable to move at all!
