Well thank God my knees have settled down. I was genuinely worried about them, given the pain I was suffering on Monday. Yesterday wasn't so bad, it was mainly the shockwave up my leg of getting off the bus, or walking down stairs, or whatever. This morning, however, all seems well.
Having a think about it, I've noticed a pattern in how easy/hard my sessions are. Thursdays are okay because I've had a two day break between. Then Saturday's are okay because it's early, I haven't been to work and mentally or physically drained myself. Then Monday? Ouch. The one day break is catching up with me, and the two previous sessions so close together must wear me out.
That isn't to say that I intend to stop going on Mondays! I'm just going to have to ensure I do plenty of pre-BMF stretching.
I have noticed that they don't tend to warm up and get going gradually. Usually, one can differentiate between the warm up and the actual exercise. We literally go from standing around at the beginning waiting to go, to running, jumping, squatting, SWEATING. Within a few short minutes everyone's faces are bright red and my legs are killing me. I almost feel that if just for five minutes they built it up a bit - say jogging on the spot, a few squats, then star jumps, then jogging with momentum... I don't know. I feel this nought to sixty regime is sometimes a bit much, especially since they don't 'stretch' us at the beginning (something which I fully intend to start doing as of Thursday).
Something to think about.
