How I did it: I'd been attempting to do this for quite a while. The best I could manage to do was once or twice a week. I never really got into it, and it always felt like a chore.

Then this year I decided to lose weight, and exercise harder too, and although it was still a struggle, once I got used to doing some really difficult classes it all fell into place. I also found that having friends to go with also helped a lot.

I go now mostly on my own, and even get antsy when I miss a session. I'm regularly there three times a week, sometimes four.

Lessons & tips:

• It's great if you can find friends to go with when you first start out.
• Always keep in mind the reason why you're doing it. Because you think you should isn't good enough; give yourself a solid reason, which can be your target to work towards.
• Eat well as well as exercise. If you're eating well, you're more inclined to do exercise as well, because you're putting yourself in the "be healthy" mentality.

Resources: Horley's Sculpt Protein drink. I'm still having it for breakfast, which was a struggle for the first few weeks, but now I don't like starting a day without it.
