Not only has it been a busy week at work, but the stress is building; as a stress reducer, I recommitted myself and my time at the gym, and also hired a Personal Trainer.
Let me tell you about Daemeon ..... he played college football, and he's tall, dark and handsome. Which makes you wonder why would a gal want to get all sweaty in front of someone like that? It's his attitude, to tell you the truth. He loves being a PT and brings a lot of enthusiasm. And he knows how to push someone (me!) who doesn't want to do things!
It's fun to give him a hard time when he tells me what exercise we're going to do. One of the things I need to work on is balance; my left leg is much stronger than my right. An upper body workout was Wednesday's "treat"... The exercise? holding 10 lb weights in each hand, stand on one foot, raise arms up, and lower them slowly. Repeat 10 times each side. I forget the fancy name he called them, but to me??? I call them Birdy's because its like flapping wings!!
Next up : 20 pushups. He counts them off... " 1, 2, 3, ..... 17, 18, 19... and give me 5 more..." and I groaaaaan as I continue to push up. Back to birdy's. Then more pushups. Then more birdy's, and one last set of pushups. He called this a super set. And yes, it worked me hard. Two days later, I could still feel the burn in my arms as I tried to do things at work! (But I won't tell Daemeon that! he'd just work me harder next time!!)
We'll just see how this goes the first week ...
