Well today is my first day back at a gym in over 1 year after the hsv encephalitis . This was due to the help from my neuro psychologist . Who done a referal to a local club to help and see if this can improve my moods and help with the stress and sleep issues. Had a brilliant induction with a helpful staff member and today I tried taken myself to do this in my own. So far this has went so much better than I thought it would have with the noises and such .

Very good to hear you did so well, bravo and keep at it. I'm making some progress too with some new doings. It must be the Springtime! :-)

That’s really good news. Getting back to exercise was so important to me. I don’t do as much as I did pre-E, but I think I probably used to overdo it and I don’t get the ‘I haven’t exercised’ panics in the same way I used to. I have been trying to incorporate some yoga/Pilates for core strength, although I am normally just impatient to do cardio.

I was never a gym person actually but always admire those who are. I’m more a walker round the park! Seriously getting back into exercise is always good. I do try and walk every day as I know I sleep better when I do. Or some other exercise like not exciting housework!!!! Onwards and uowards. Still.
