Making_A_Change’s BodyBlog

Last night, I did 45 minutes of cardio split between the stairmill (20 minutes) and the treadmill (11% incline @ 3 mph). This morning I worked back and abs and finished it off with a 1 mile run @ 6 mph. Man, it was a good workout and, by geez, I can’t remember what I did.

3 sets of seated rows: 80# 12-15 reps

3 sets of cable rows (rope attachment): 100#

3 sets lat pull down: 80 #

3 sets: woodchopper, oblique crunches, kneeling crunches

I did more stuff, but I can’t remember. I need some sleep. I was in and out in about an hour; and I know I am going to be sore in the morning. A private trainer  approached me today. He obviously didn’t work for my neighborhood gym, because the trainers from my gym are baaa-aaad.  When this guy works with his client, she does lots of things with her own body weight, innovative moves and I have watched he become more muscular, more coordinated, and she’s looking darn good! I’ve said to myself I would like to work with him some time, because I like what he does.  This morning I was going to ask for his card. He approached me today, and said that he was talking to his client about me–saying that when I am there I work really hard. I had to laugh, because I know I put on the stank face when I am trying to squeeze out those last reps. He’s  52 (didn’t look it) and has been training people for over 30 years. He talked about his philosophy on fitness and his clients and was really knowledgeable. I told him about what I’ve done. Although I am not looking for a trainer, right now, he would definitely be someone I would work with.
