The Gym

The gym......it's a love/hate relationship.  Lately it's been tough to get there when I don't have to be accountable to the trainer.  I know when I go I feel better, but sometimes I need more motivation.

Today I met with my trainer, Damian.  We've been working together for a few months now.  His style is different than the other two trainers I've had, and different isn't necessarily bad, I just have to get used to it and he has to figure out what motivates me.  Today he put me through a strength training/cardio session that was so hard.  I honestly had to take a minute and really breathe so my breakfast didn't end up on the gym floor.

He had grouped together five different exercises and I was on my third go around on the last excercise.  I was exhausted I didn't think I was going to be able to finish.  About half way through he said, "Last one."  I knew there were still at least six left so I said, "Is my form really getting that bad."  He replied, "No I just don't want you to hurt yourself."

Good thing I have a sense of humor.

  1. I am exhausted just hearing about your workouts, better go lay down. Keep up the good work, I figure I have a few more months before I can't hide behind sweaters anymore.
