My trainer saw me with my daughter at Target on Saturday. He could tell I was in a good deal of pain. He didn't want to approach me because he was worried what I would say in front of his daughter. I know I wouldn't have said anything that was rated R, but he didn't know that. I keep thinking of him seeing me hobbling around, looking like a stroke patient, and just knowing I was in pain, and all I do is laugh. He probably the only person in the world to know exactly why I was walking the way I was. I can only imagine what his expression was or what he was thinking, I just chuckle when I think of that.
He said that the goal there isn't to kill us, but to make us stronger. He doesn't like to hear the other trainers talk about the complaints other gym rats have. I told him several times that I want to work out hard, but I have a 3 1/2 yo and I need to function. He's cool with that. BUT, we didn't really know what my limit was. And I want to work hard so I just take what ever he gives me. I think we both learned something.
Today's workout was as fallows:
Warm-up
50 jumping jacks
800 m run
Active Warm-up
500 m row (2:06)
After the row he showed me the board of the top 5 women and men in all their categories that they keep track of. I did my 500 m in 2 minutes 06 seconds. If I did that on Friday I would have made the top 5 women. I am actually number 6, but they only do 5. SO CLOSE! I'll get on that board soon! It's nice to in my third workout and know that I am already good at something there. :)
Workout (14:43)
100 single jump rope
100 m run
Do that 6 times
I got through 5 times, my legs were just too tired. I did it in 15 minutes 23 seconds.
I then did a 500 m row for my cool down.
My legs are still store, but SO much better. Every step I take still has pain with it, but I can walk like a normal person now. Even up and down the stairs!!
Burned 400 calories according to my Bodybugg.
And so we go.
