Today, I saw my trainer again. We talked about how I felt after Monday's workout (lol I felt horrid! my core muscles were screaming, kept me awake and nauseous that night!) So he told me we'd tone it down for today and see if that level works better. We did all kinds of different things, he mixes it up well! Part of it was tossing a 6lb medicine ball back and forth - which feels like a game, but it was definitely a workout! Then "slams" with the same ball - raise it over my head and slam it to the ground. Wow -- talk about a true stress reliever! We did a lot of other usual things, lots of leg work. But the best was the last 10 minutes. He had me lay on my back and he stretched me. Pulled and pushed on each leg in various positions. Then did my shoulders and arms. Maaaaaaaaan - that felt terrific!! I'm still relaxed :) What a difference that makes!
But... then came the homework. I must have blinked five or six times, wondering if I heard him right... "Homework???" ha! Saturday's homework = 100 wall pushups. Ok. Doable. Sunday's homework = Ball Trio (a set of different arm and shoulder presses done while balanced on a stability ball, oh boy!)
He's going to be the best trainer!!
Time for that hot shower, and an aspirin! hehehehe
