Quote for the Week

"Nothing happens without personal transformation."

So I hired a personal trainer.  First one ever.  Feels weird.  I pay someone $30 for 30 minutes to work out with me and show me what to do.

The early mornings are not something I am used to doing for a hard workout though!

I had my first session at 6:30 AM Monday morning and today at 7:00 AM.  I'm doing it again next week.  I just want to get stronger, and lately I felt like I needed some extra motivation.

I'm actually super uncoordinated on some of things she has me do.  LOL

Monday:

• pullups on the rings with feet on ground
• plank variation
• squats with free weights
• lunges with free weights
• running
• 2 different sets of abs on a balance ball
• squats with the kettle bell (where you swing with your hips to lift the kettle bell up with straight arms)
• used kettle bell for triceps

Wednesday:

• squats with no weights as a warm up
• pullups on the rings with feet on the ground
• pushups with one hand on a ball (as you lift up you have to roll the ball to the other hand and do another pushup)
• triceps on the rings with feet on the ground
• kettle bell squats mentioned above
• lunges with kettle bell
• situps with a weight ball (on the way up i had to toss the ball and catch it on the way down)
• abs lifting heavy ball from side to side
• the ropes

These are hard workouts for me.  They only last 30 minutes, so we push it hard or 30 minutes.  I'm also doing my Daily Dozen, and now that school is out for the semester, I can finish reading Fit by Nature by John Colver.
