Thursday has traditionally been my sleeping in and rest day. Hubby goes to the temple in the morning and I am in desperate need of SLEEP! I've been in the market for a personal trainer for awhile. Though I found many who were qualified, they were way out of range for my budget. I feel like having a personal trainer is a total luxury. Definitely a want and not a need. I finally found someone who I think is *it*! She comes to my house for a 30 minutes/once a week and her price is right. I have to be warmed up before she comes and I stretch on my own after she leaves. She ran collegiate track and field. So she understands running and knows I don't want HUGE muscles. I was able to sleep in some this morning (6:15am is way better than 4:30am!!!). While walking from my front door to my family room she was already giving me instructions. There was no fooling around. I realize my muscles were weaksauce within the first set of circuits. The "one arm on a weighted ball and one arm on the ground" pushups I thought were going to put me to an early grave. I think she is going to make me do them every time since my arms are so weak. I was sweating and breathing hard the whole time. When my 30 minutes were up, she quickly ran out the door. I appreciate her speediness. I'm really excited about this. I'm not very motivated to weight lift. If I get my running it, then I feel like I've worked out and always sluff off lifting. BUT I know I need to and it will make me a better runner. I can't remember anything we did(except those pushups)...she was going fast. But I know that I am sore all over.
