First day with the personal trainer. So I was hoping to have a bit more understanding as to what we were going to do this evening. Oh well. I knew we weren't htting the pool as she did not make mention of it. Plus I knew she would want to focus on the run as that is where I am weakest. So we did a combo of cardio and strength work this evening.
5 minutes walking on the treadmill at 3.6mph
Squats with a balance ball against the wall. I don't know how many I did. I just know my legs were feeling the burn.
Push-ups with the balance ball. Again - count unknown.
More squats with the balance ball and some odd extra piece to confuse me? I think it wasto force additional balance. I am not sure.
More push ups.
5 minutes back on the treadmill - 1 minute at 3.5; 1 minute at 5mph, 1 minute at 3.5; 1 minute at 5mph; 1minute at 3.5
Oh let me tell you getting that one minute run in is just brutal. I suppose I need to do that some more. I just don't keep good track when I run myself.
Next up.
Wall push ups. These were with my shoulders closer to my sides to work my triceps. I felt the muscle pull in more of a bicep area. She said it had more to do with there the muscles connect than the lower part of the tricep.
Then some lunges. I was supposed to curl 5lb weights with the lunges but I struggled with the lunges. FYI - lunges take a different technique than the thought of balancing on a balance beam. I couldn't get my balance because my legs were just too close together. We truly needed to work through some visuals to get my legs in a position that I was comfortable.
So I did the 5lb curls on their own.
Then back to the treadmill...
Same as before.
And then my cool down was a few more minutes than anticipated.
I feel good. Ask me again tomorrow.
I am on a crazy long road trip with JS tomorrow so I am not sure that I will see the inside of the gym. She suggested I at least get a walk in. I think I can do that.
