Today was my first leg workout in over 2 weeks. Man I do not need to do cardio on leg day, I sweat so much it’s not even funny. I’ll tell you this though, taking time off does make a difference in how strong I am, but I am happy to be back at the gym. I wasn’t feeling so great during the time I couldn’t make it to the gym, and I’ll confirm this to you now that working out does make you happy. I feel GREAT!
I give it a week and I’ll be back.
So, I’m at the gym today and in between sets while I’m resting, I’m looking at this trainer at my gym training her client and I couldn’t help but notice the type of workouts she had this lady doing. Mind you she talks to this lady like during the whole training session. Anyway, the lady was in her 50’s and the trainer had her doing these exercises that were just ridiculous. Laying on the floor by the cable shoulder/chest press machine with her ankles strapped to the shoulder/chest area doing these pulls downs with her legs. I’m sorry it just looked ridiculous. I couldn’t help but make these faces like “what is she doing?”. If you were there you’d do the same thing. When she works out, she does these exercises that I’ve never even seen, super fast, not in correct order. I’m sorry if I was training her client, she would’ve already seen some serious results.
My point to that story is, if you’re going to hire a trainer, please make sure they know what they’re doing. Watch how they train other clients to see how they interact with them. I’m all about working out and focusing on the muscles that I’m working out, I don’t have time to chit chat. We can do that afterwards!!!
Yesterday I did my shoulders, I started this new routine that I did about 4 months ago. It’s an awesome shoulder workout. I’ll post it in the next blog. Try it I think you’ll enjoy it.
