10/13 - Personal Training

Today was one of the hardest workouts I have had since joining Body3fit.  Carlos really worked us hard and fast today, I had nothing left to give him at the end - which I would summize is the goal.

Our exercises:
  • 3 sets of a Shoulder Press x 15 reps
  • 3 sets of Bendover rows using dumbells x 15 reps
  • 3 sets of leg press x 15 reps
  • 3 sets of jumping rope for a minute
  • 3 sets of bicept curls using individual machines x 15 reps
  • 3 sets of alternating planks for 2 minutes
  • 3 sets of scissor squats x 30 reps
  • 3 sets of arm extentions to shoulder press - using dumbells x 10 reps each.
It was pure hell, but that is what we pay for.  Carlos takes so much abuse from everyone, me included, but its worth it in the end.  With Carlos its service (or pain depending on your viewpoint) with a smile.  Just like the rest of the staff at Body3fit.

I highly suggest joining me in my misery :)

10/08 - The Results

Well prior to our work out, we had our first offical results since beginning personal training (after 8 weeks):
  • Overall dropped 10 pounds on the scale
  • gained three inches on the chest
  • lost two inches in the waist
  • lost 1/2 inch on my thighs

I personally though I would have had better results, but at least I am headed in the right direction. I know there are times were I have struggled with my nutrition. That's ok, but we have to crawl before we can walk, and walk before we can run. As long as I do not give up and I inch towards my fitness goals.
