The Body I Deserve (May 31 2008)
Lately, I’ve started to notice that I’m getting leaner each days. Not skinny, but leaner, and I do feel I’ve added a bit of muscles. My clothes are fitting better than before, and I like the way I look now. To others, having a runner body is the way to go, but my goal is to be lean, and to gain muscle.
Yesterday, was my first time spending with a personal coach for free of charge, it was a compliment from the gym for new members. He asked about my fitness goal, and as we spoke, there were several occasions he stated that he was surprised of the information I know. Wow, having a coach saying that to you is awesome. Approaching the end of the conversation, he wants to do a weigh-in, and heart-rate measure, but I have to interrupt him because I don’t believe it is going to give an accurate rating. Why? I’ve read that weight-in will not be accurate unless it’s in the morning when your stomach is empty. I also stated that the heart-rate will also not be accurate, because I just took a pre-workout supplement, and I kindly ask him if we can do it another time.
Yesterday, we started out with chest, and triceps then abs. It was an amazing workout. He demonstrated how to do bench press, dumbbells fly, decline bench press, abs, rope press-down and a few more exercises. The decline bench press is weird, I have never done it before in my life, and I felt a bit dizzy after it. My coach said that he noticed, as I did the bench press, I tend to move the bar from one side to another. OOPS! He corrected and make sure I did the form right. I got a good chest and triceps and abs workout yesterday, I have never felt like that before. After the workout, he showed me and assist me how to stretch properly. I didn’t know how importance stretching is, and he stated that we will have to work on my flexibility. I got a great workout with him, and do look forward for next Friday.
