Personal Trainer


On Saturday, Erin and I joined a gym. With the purchase of my membership, I received 3 free sessions with a personal trainer. So my first session was this morning at 11. I was a little scared, b/c I didn't know what to expect. I went into a little office, where they asked what my goals were and then they did measurements. After that I was passed along to Brandon. He asked me what I wanted to work on. It was either going to be my stomach or arms, and since I have no muscles in my stomach, I chose the arms! First he took me to the bike. We did intervals of 30 sec. The first 30 sec I was normal speed, the next 30 sec I went as fast as I could. After 2 minutes, I was breaking out in a sweat! While doing this, I noticed a trash can in front of the bike and I immediately thought, is he going to make me throw up?! I later found out when I asked if it was normal to throw up, he told me "yeah it's normal, my last client did, that's why that trash can was there". At that moment, I told myself, "NO THROWING UP, YOU GOT THAT!" When I got up from that bike, I could barely feel my legs. Then we went over to the weights and we worked on my arms for the rest of the time. A couple of times, I didn't think I would make it, but I did. And I scheduled my next one for Wednesday morning! Erin has her first appointment on Thursday, I can't wait to see what she thinks. I honestly think having a personal trainer would be amazing!!! We'll see if I think that tomorrow when I can't walk!!
