Well here's the dealy-o. I renewed my membership with Golds last week and the guy said I had a free training session with a personal trainer. I thought "why not", I could use a few new weight training exercises, so I made the appointment.
This morning I met with, lets just call her "A" to protect her identity, So "A" tells me to go hit the treadmill for a quick warm-up, so I do and after a mile and a 1/2 (and some great conversation with my girls Lily and Merri) "A" still hasn't come to get me yet. So I hop off the treadmill to go get her. Once I find her she now informs me that there won't be enought time to do a workout today and we'll just do the consultation. I'm slightly annoyed - but whatever - I still go along with it. We start to talk , she's punching in my info to the computer, and then she say's "so I heard you do tri-athlons". What! I just met this girl - I've never met this chick until 10 mins ago and I've never done a triathalon, huh, I'm confused.
Well all my info is in the computer and according to "A"'s information I am actually 34 years of age not 31. Hmmmmm I work out about 5 times a week, lift weights, do cardio, try to eat healthy, which makes me older than I really am? Interesting! Actually I feel more like 24 then 34. But "A" tells me that after workouts with her I would feel like I was 27 again.Well alllrighty then!
Then she tells me my body fat is 20% which is healthy but not athletic. She continues to tell me that her body fat it about 13% and that I could get down to that too. I'm thinking - "A" How old are you, 18 probably, you've never gone through a pregnancy, birthed any children and you are not currently taking care of children either, no wonder YOUR body fat is at 13%. But don't worry I did not say that out loud. Then "A" asks me if I'm interested in having a personal trainer and I honestly tell her that I'm not going to pay for a personal trainer I was just there for the free advice. She tells me "oh thats fine" but I can tell she is now annoyed.
My point - I left feeling worse than when I went in and I didn't even get any new exercises - which is what I really wanted. I am meeting with her again in the morning for the workout which we didn't get in today - so- We'll see how that goes. We'll see what cutesie little "A" with 13% body fat can do with 34 yr old me! |
