I've done the gym thing on and off over the years, even hired a trainer to show me how to use the equipment in the proper way. Turned forty a few months ago and just lost all interested in working out. Just too much of a grind.
Well my lovely wife decided she wanted to get in better shape and hired a trainer, but the hitch was that I had to go with her. Today was our first session.
I can honestly tell you that todays one hour session was the hardest a** kickings I think I've ever had. I'm in reasonably good shape, but by the time we were done with the first 30 minutes, I was, literally, ready to puke. The funny thing is, it was all floor-based dynamic stretching work...we didn't hit the weights until later. He basically took us through about 12 variations of lunges, deep ones, twisting ones, reaching ones, sideways ones. As I sit here and type this, my quads and hamstrings are just throbbing.
The best part --> I love it and can't wait to do 'em again!!
