Training Day 7
If ever there was a dreaded day to look forward to, this day would be it had I know in advance what she would put me through today. I’m in pain, I hurt, and I can’t sit down! Oh yes, this was not just a whole body anything, this was bluntly - Ass Day! And my ass hates Trainer K for it!
Of course, you know how my day starts out - WARM UP. Trainer K was already there when I showed up from a previous session - damn! She caught me. Right away she sticks me on the elliptical. I hate her. Oh thank you - 7 minutes never looked so good. Time to get off. Thighs burn, butt burns, and she is smiling at me.
What is on the drill today? My favorite lunges, squats, and stances, UGH! Twice around the room on the lunges, so not a regular what 35 - oh no, she upped it. I did about 60 lunges and wanted to lunge at her afterwards. OMG, help me, my legs are like jello and I can’t walk.
Then what does she shove down my throat? Squats. WTF!? Are you nuts? And not just squats, 3 different forms of squats, in a fluid motion, so basically 3 squats equaled one, 3 sets of 12. You know, there is just something about a personal trainer when they can watch you in pain and then - smile 
Best was saved for last. After all of my butt and thigh work, time for some core love. Again, the stance as if you are going to do a lunge, she hands me my weights, and off I go. Twisting at the hips and waist, holding out the weights, for 75 lovely painful twists to work my abs. I flowed right into 75 crunches, then into 75 side crunches - which in my world is technically 150 crunches - 75 on each side.
Finally, that was that, Trainer K said adios and I couldn’t move. I went into the back room, laid down on a mat, and literally felt sick to my stomach. That was the hardest core workout ever for me. So, I caught my breath, drank a ton of water, took my shower, and now I am SOOO craving a Hostess Twinkie!
