Hey Everyone,

Tonight, I finally had my second session with my trainer as he has been out of town. It was a great work out. He showed me a few new things, I have not done before and it was great. He said usually this set of workouts take him a while with a client b/c they can’t get the form right and I nailed it on the first try. He was happy and so was I.  I am actually thrilled about that more than anything.  I was so exhausted today and was tempted to cancel and make today a rest day, but I am glad I pushed myself in to going to the gym regardless, b/c that was the best decision. 

Here is the workout I did (some of the names I do not remember, so I will try to describe them):

• Fifteen minute warmup: Eliptical
• Squats: 2 sets of 25, used 15lb weights
• Deadlifts (is that what its called?): 2 sets of 25, used 10lb weights
• Seated Row: 2 sets of 25, 30lbs
• Dont know what this one is called. Used the shoulder pull down thing but changed the bar to a smaller straight one, feet shoulder length apart arms extended and just used up and down motion. 2 sets of 25, weight 30lbs
• Chest Press (hands on bottom level): 2 sets of 25, 30lbs
• Chest Press (hands on the side in the middle of the two levels): 2 sets of 25, 30lbs
• Lets see, something similar to that but goes straight up, dont know the name sorry, but did 2 sets of 25, 30lb weights
• Rotary (seated and you twist your body, done in two diff directions), 1 set of 25, weight at 40lbs
• Everlast balls lbs, to do same type of excercise listed above. 25 twists to each side
• Triceps with a straight bar on a pull machine, 20lbs 2 sets of 25
• Biceps with a rope on machine, 20lbs 2 sets of 25
• Abs: laying on matt, feet (heels) rested on stability ball to do 50 crunches
• Ten minute cool down on stationary bike

I think that is all I did tonight. Not sure if I am missing one or something. I do know I will be feeling this work out tomorrow. I did exercises I never knew to do before and worked out areas I am sure I haven’t worked in a while. So, I am excited about this.

Once my trainer and I have been through everything with the instructional parts and testing me to see what I can handle he is going to design me a routine.  It’s going to be a 4 day routine, so I will know what to do and how.  The reason it’s only 4 days, is b/c I signed up for spinning twice a week, along with yoga, pilates and a bootcamp/full body conditioning class.  So I will have a great variety and work just about everything in my body.  I think with all the variety I will look forward to the work out, I will not get bored and my body while be going through different phases not know what to expect so it will constantly show changed.  I am soooo excited about all that I have done and all that is coming ahead. Next week, I am doing a weight in and my first Body Fat measurement, so we can really keep an eye on my progress.  Also, it’s time for me to go to the doctor for my 5 month work up to make sure my heart and everything is all in good shape (I am sure it is, but just to check I go every 4-6 months when I am training), not to mention to make sure I can handle the intensity I am going at since I had surgery only a month ago.

Well, this is all I have for now.  I will write again tomorrow. So until later this is my blog. Thanks for reading!!!
