On Monday, I went in for my FREE personal training session that the SUPER NICE trainer at my gym gave me. Let me tell ya…working with a trainer takes working out to a whole other level. I can’t believe how HARD this session was. It was a half hour session and I think we actually only worked out for about 15 minutes (after paperwork and talking).
Those were the longest 15 minutes everrrrrr!
He had me do:
- Squats with a medicine ball raise above head
- Squats with a medicine ball push out in front
- 30 lb bag shoulder presses
- Rope training
- Box jumps
- Lateral jumps over a step
- Burpees with 30 lb bag and raise
- Push-Ups on 30lb bag
And a couple more full body exercises. I thought I was gonna YACK! Well played, trainer boy…. well played!
I absolutely hate burpees!!! I seriously HATE them!
He said he enjoyed training me because I worked hard. He offered to give me another HOUR of training for free this evening. I could barely make it through 15 min so I really hope I can last an hour! It’s going to be a challenge but I’m up for the challenge!!!
Wish me luck. I hope I come back alive.
Have you ever worked out with a personal trainer? Would you rather work out with a PT or workout alone?
Sounds like he wants you shredded fast! I’m a personal trainer specializing in weight loss and body conditioning. His approach was spot-on. Is sounds like he emphasizes core strength and overall fitness rather than the Frankenstein approach I see with a lot of trainers. If his goal is to give you a fit, healthy body that will last you the next 50 years or more I’d stick with him. Congratulations on going the distance with the burpees!
Thanks Will!!
Good luck lady!
I have always wanted to do a session with a personal trainer..
I’ve never had my own training session. I’m scared because surely they will located every muscle group I don’t know about and kill me. I’m sure of it.
I’ve done personal training once and I was too afraid to go back. It was tough lol. It didn’t help that I am a wuss when it comes to weights and he was an ex-marine…yeah, you can imagine how that one went haha
