What happened during my exercise test
On the 17th August came my exercise test. Although I had had one before, I found it was still quite daunting.
It’s not the fact you're attached to loads of machines – I’m used to that now. It’s the fact people watch you exercise – my worst nightmare! It would be fine if I was a lean, mean muscle machine...
And it's not just exercising: you're made to look like Darth Vader whilst doing it. I find the mouth piece stretches my cheeks too, because whoever makes them clearly assumes everyone has the same size mouth 🙈
A nose clip is then put on your nose to make sure you breathe in and out of your mouth through the mask, which is attached and takes up most of your face.
And after that, you're off. You pedal away until you resemble that moment in Bridget Jones when she falls off her exercise bike.
For anyone who is about to have one of these, it’s not actually that scary. It's just like getting one of those health check-ups, so please don’t worry: relax and peddle away 🚴
