So I've been a member of the local gym for a week now.

Some observations:

1. Despite the fact that I have no need of doing CV stuff at the gym, it feels a lot better if I do so. Six miles an hour on a jogging machine set to be on an incline does the trick.
2. Going to the steam room at the end is NOT optional. I'd forgotten how much I like steam rooms...
3. 3M scotchbrite microfibre cloths are awesome gym towels: They absorb sweat in the gym, act as an exfoliating flannel in the shower, and dry in the spinny-machine-thing almost completely
4. I have two routines from the PT. Because of my postural problems, the first one leaves me feeling lousy; the second one doesn't. This is because I can mostly correct my posture when I'm standing up but not when I'm sitting down, and the second one uses free weights rather than the machines.
5. I'd forgotten just how fast my body reacts to exercise. I already need to increase the weights that I was struggling with at the start of the week. When I first started out jogging, it took less than a week to go from struggling to get around the block, to easily going on an hour-long run.

And it's certainly improved/reduced my back & shoulder pain, so I guess I'll carry on with it next week..
