First on the agenda of my shiny new Project Un-dull-ify: gym time.

Body Pump clinic on my calendarI aim to be at the first Body Pump clinic at the local sports centre, bright and early on a Saturday morning. I didn’t even know what Body Pump was until I, 1) asked when I dropped into the sports centre to locate a schedule, and 2) looked it up on the Ingterneck.

There are some concerns among the Project Un-dull-ify Team (of one, hereafter known as PUT) that ‘mainstream hit songs’ might be interpreted in ned-happy Scotland to mean ‘banging techno’. Nevertheless, PUT plans to push through any potential auditory agony with the same technique used while studying for one’s O-levels: when you have finished your allotted task, the peace, quiet, and comfort will be super-sweet.

An additional worry is the combination of free weights and klutziness. If PUT can survive the first few classes without fracturing or spraining any digits, PUT will push on and build pretty gym muscles. Eventually.
