WEEK 1 Wrap Up

With all due respect to personal trainers i've always felt a little confused at why people pay money to have another person stand around and be a sort of coach during a workout. On Tuesday i was at the gym jogging on the treadmill and a woman and her trainer took the treadmill next to mine. He stood leaning on the machine while she ran and said stuff like, "so whats going on this weekend?", "how old are you?", "Do you like to lay out a lot?", "Wow you're way tanner than me." Having to hear all this made my skin actually crawl off my body and slither out the door. It was really hard to run

BUT

In addition to providing exercise ideas and fitness plans and flirting services while exercising, having a personal trainer means that SOMEONE'S WAITING FOR YOU TO SHOW UP. For me getting out of bed, or the apartment or wherever and going to workout is the hardest part. Knowing that someone is counting on me being there and facing the potential shame of being a flake helps overcome the inertia.

since i think working out should be free and cause i'm hella stubborn about how i exercise i try to find a friend to workout with instead of getting a PT. (Thanks Tim). Its especially helpful with early morning workouts. Give it a try.

End of week 1 kudos for all your hard work.
