Training Day 15

Here we are again. Another day, another workout, and I have to admit today was better. Yes, still a little sore from Wednesday’s workout, but that is to be expected. Trainer K even reassured me during our session today that I would expect possibly another day of some soreness, but it will work through.

With my session today, Trainer K let me off the hook on the intensity level due to our last session, but not with the workout. We worked my core again today, but instead of the fast pace movements with the stability ball and medicine ball, she let me work on the circuit machines so I could have a bit more control.

Plus with the range of motion the machines give, I think it helped to stretch out my back a bit more. I do hate the machines for one thing - they take too much time to change them out. The flow with free weights and the individual items really helps me to move quickly to get more in with the short time frame I have.

Anyway, it was a good work out, but I will feel it tomorrow. Might as well prepare myself for it. Plus, my trainer wants me at pilates tomorrow morning, not kickboxing. Although, she is letting me decided if I want to stay for the kickboxing class. Although I have had some pilates mixed into my sessions, I have never truly had a pilates class. This should be interesting.

So, basically today was an easy day that I was very grateful for. I just know that she is going to have something in store for me tomorrow. Ut oh!

Training Day 2

I have realized something very vital when hiring a personal trainer - never be late and never miss a session. I am only on my second training session, so neither one pertains to me. I have been there both times, ready to go, unfortunately the same can not be said for my personal trainer.

I was there at 8 AM, walking my ass off on the treadmill, watching Good Morning America, and getting the most horrendous cramp in my foot. I kept going. After 25 minutes of walking and almost 15 minutes into my training session, my trainer was still not there. I kept walking!

Well, 8:45 AM rolled around, signaling the end of the training session that she never showed for and time for me to shower and head off to work. It’s weird, I thought the client was suppose to ditch training, not the other way around.

Still no return phone call, no reply to my email, but that’s OK… I was still there, devoted to getting my body and mind in shape, too bad my personal trainer can’t be as devoted.

Now, I know there are always reasons why someone might miss, but if you know you have an appointment and can’t make it, call the night before, call the morning of, something, so you don’t leave someone like me hanging that already is having issues with the reason for a personal trainer to begin with.
