I took up the offer of my free session with the personnal trainer. Yes... it has come to this. I felt like the next contender, the next gold medalist.
I was pushing the limits, sweat was pouring off me, I was being pushed to my breaking point. The intensive work out was not breaking me but making me stronger, OK, now for the real story..........
I had a leisurely walk to the gym, remembering I picked this gym because it was close by. The weather was beautiful and the blue sky and calm breeze was a pleasure.
I arrived at the gym and introduced myself and start with why I requested the time with him. Pouring out my life story in 3 minutes flat and how I got myself into this unfit state, he nodded caringly and we started on our way. Always bearing in mind my back problems he gave me exercises and repetions to do. I kept telling him I'll see how I will hold up tomorrow, and that will be the real test. But I must admit the structure of someone telling me what to do and when was quite a relief and I just listened and learnt from someone in the know. I did push myself, sweat was pouring off me, probably from lack of exercise and being unfit, I was being pushed to perhaps not breaking point but enough for me.
I do now get up from the mat alittle quicker and with alittle more zip then six month ago, and hopefully that continues.
I was never one for the personnl trainer and thought it was a bit of waste of time. I don't need someone to tell me what to do. But, I now think I do, and it makes it alot easier. I enjoy the hour and can honestly say it flew. Will keep you posted.
