I am scheduled for a training session in about two hours.  Part of an interview for a luxury spa that I’m trying to get a job with.  I was told that the woman that I’ll be training is five feet tall, 110lbs, in tip top shape and no health issues that prevent her from performing any training. 

I never trained anyone in my life.  Though I’m almost done with school for my certification, we’ve not gone over an actual training session though I’m very familiar with most gym equipment.  It’s so weird for me to be tossed to the lions like this.  Not putting her through tests or reading her Par-Q information. 

I’m thinking of an overall body routine, something like standing overhead barbell triceps extensions, hammer curles, cable internal rotation, Cable crossover, Ab cruncher, Barbell shrug behind the back, straight arm pulldown, One arm dumbell row, hyperextensions, dubbell lunges, and plie lunges. 

I’m puzzled about the warm up, is it ever part of the training session? Do I put her on a treadmill for an 8 minute warm up?  Do I stretch her?

I’m so nervous, what am I going to do?!?!?!

It’s been a while since I wrote, thank you for emailing me the reminder.  I’m a bit busy these days.  My certification program is taking much time, but non the less it’s amazingly interesting. 

Tomorrow we cover Physiology.  I tried reading ahead, the names of the bones, ligaments, connective tissue etc is driving me insane.  I hope that we are not expected to remember them all for the exam. 

Training and Weight:
  

I continue to workout regularly even though I skip updating the Workout tracker on occasion.   

I did skip a workout yesterday, but instead we skied all day! Interestingly not a single muscle is sore .  Working-out pays off! 

My weight is not dropping much in fact, in the less month maybe 1/2 a pound or so.  But my body fat percentage dropped by one percent.  I just find it hard to believe that I, at a quarter inch shy of 5′6 will go through the rest of my life weighing 145lbs with something like 20% body fat.  Why can’t I be like the really slender muscular women? Is my skeletal structure this big?!?!?! . 

Frustrations, frustrations, frustrations! 

Tomorrow is almost here.  The Giants, the absolute underdogs, with a baby QB are facing an undefeated superior team, the New England Patriots.   

I grew up in NY, in Brooklyn.  Only two years ago moved away to the Garden State.  But it hasn’t changed the fact that I’m a huge fan.

I find it interesting that in 1925, that at their very first game they faced the  All New Britain in New Britain, Connecticut, [New England team] on October 4, 1925.  They defeated New Britain 26–0. 
 

Will they be able to defeat the Cheatriots?

May the best team win!
