So I decided to hire a personal trainer. I always wanted to do it, but never thought it was affordable. Since I have been in this plateau for the last year and I also now have my energy stores back, I figured its now or never. I am going to try and keep up the blog about my experience over the next 12 weeks. What I do in my workouts, what I am eating, and hopefully some before and after pictures if I have anything to show for it in the end. Yesterday was my first meeting with him, and I was prepared for the worst. This is what we did:
warm up- yoga flow
lunge, forearms to the ground to open the hip, side lunge twist, straight leg with forehead to knee. Repeat each side 5 times.
accross the length of the studio- high kick and touch opposite hand, quad stretch with each step, grapevine fast, grapevine with high knee.
Then we did a circuit with the TRX system which are basically straps attached to a bar that you use along with your body weight.
circuit 1
rows-1 min, rest 30 sec
push ups- 1 min, rest 30 sec
single leg squat with opposite leg extended in front-30 seconds each leg, rest 30 sec
plank-1 min, side plank each side 30 sec.
repeat
circuit 2 tabata
squat down lift up this giant sand bag ball over the head and then thow it down hard-20 sec, 10 sec rest
mountain climbers 20 sec, 10 sec rest
Squats with arms up 20 sec, 10 sec rest
Side lunge 20 sec 10 sec rest.
That was it!
At first I felt I could have easily gone back and done 20 min on a stairclimber, but I decided to rest.
So this morning I was unexpectedly sore! My shoulders, core, back and triceps.
Breakfast thrive style home made granola. Vega wfo
Snack kale salad
Lunch collard green enchiladas
Snack Vega energizing smoothie
Trader joes 100 calorie dark chocolate bar and peanut butter.
I usually dont eat dinner, but I did eat some popcorn with coconut oil and nutritional yeast in the evening and also had a gin and tonic.
I felt a little sore in the morning, and it got a little worse later in the day. Not so bad I couldn't walk or move, but I could feel it. I also felt like I overdid something in my right shoulder
Excited to continue
