My first personal training experience EVARRR!

I hired a personal trainer...something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I know zilch about fitness and after many failed attempts at trying to be a regular "excersizer" I decided hiring someone to lead the way was most fail-proof solution.

I found my trainer on Craigslist. She actually comes to your home to train you, which at first I couldn't wrap my head around the concept that I was going to burn calories from just hanging out in my living room. Boy oh boy, was I wrong.

She came over and got straight to taking my measurements (I'll post more on this later) and then put me right to work. I purchased a pair of 2lb and 5lb hand weights and an exercise mat, and with just those few things I got a work out like I've never had before. She had me on the floor, up in the air, and everywhere in between. I worked up a sweat and my heart was racing. The cats hung out to view the torture and seemed to enjoy witnessing it.

After an hour of push-ups, burpees, squats, lunges, weight-lifting, planks, and much more, my ass was officially kicked. I haven't been able to lift my arms since the work out and every muscle in my body is sore...according to my trainer that's great news.

I really loved it, even though it was hard. It was great having her there to push me to keep going where normally I would stop if I were on my own. We're going to meet once a week and I'll have homework in between. She's very confident I will get the results I want so long as I keep at it...but most importantly she wants to help me develop regular habits of exercising and eating right.

And from this, I'm confident it's the best investment I've made in myself, ever.
