Off I went this morning to my training session with the trainer, it sounds good, doesn't it. All geared up for another heavy training session. The young males with the fantastic bodies don't seem to bother me anymore, I have other things to worry about, in getting my training done and improving my fitness.
The trainer got me straight on to the X-trainer and I did about 5 minutes. It really does get every part of your body moving and warmed up. I went into my injury woes and and eating habits and with a understanding look, the trainer advised me it was about not eating to much and cut out the sweets. No real surprises but it was good to tell someone.
He showed me some new equipment and we did some repetitions. Sumo squats were the order of the day and I did quite a few of those. They really work the muscles on the top part of the legs and 6 months ago I was lucky to do 3. Today with other ball squats I did over 40. It was amazing what the body was able to do and withstand compared to 6 months ago.
What I have learnt is that the small goals achieved at the beginning, which really didn't seem like much, has enabled me to achieve these bigger goals now. Feeling alot more toned and the body shape is now coming back, that's good. However, I am not losing a great deal of weight but I have muscle I have never seen or had before. My legs feel much fitter and I can bend over to pick up the washing to put it on the clothes line. This should be an olympic event (lol). All in all a great session and I'm looking forward to the next one. Off to the gym tomorrrow, with my second personnal trainer, ME. Will keep you posted.
