Yes it’s true.

The last time I went to a gym was when we lived in another country and before our second child was born (he’s just turned eight).

So, yeah, what can I say? It had been a while!

Yes that’s me, hot and sweaty and tired after a forty minute workout.

So what has enticed me back, after all these years?

Well, a brand new gym has just opened up here, with a ridiculously low monthly fee of £12.99 for the first six months, and it’s open 24 hours!

I have dutifully invested in gym kit (thank you boohooman) and even treated myself to some fancy wireless headphones, because working out without music would be pure torture.

My aim is to go three times a week…let’s do this!
