I had my first sessions with my personal trainer this week. The first day (Tues) was kinda a blur. I know I had issues not holding my breath while doing the workouts my trainer walked me thru and having high blood pressure...well that's not a good thing. She had me do a lot of squats though and I felt it 3 days after even. (Plus doesn't help that I'm greatly out of shape...but I'm working on that.)

My second session on Friday was much better. I finally worked on my coordination with lifting and breathing so I didn't have a repeat of tues. I also told my trainer that my upper body/abs were not even sore from last time and we did a few things with them. Well she certainly took note; had me do several tricep/bicep exercises...some rowing, pull downs, etc. She pushed me on weight and I was actually surprised at how much I could do (honestly can't remember what each one was or the weight I did). Worked on abs as well, some lovely crunches and sided to side medicine ball moves; also worked the hamstrings with a kettle ball which was a nice exercise. OH and she also had me do this ab workout I dubbed "the Superman." Twenty seconds seems like FOREVER!

SO in a nutshell, that's what I did. Oh plus some cardio...interval walking on my down days from training.
