Training a trainer

Posted in Life of the Lintee Bean, tagged , , , , on March 31, 2013| 2 Comments »

I had my first session with my new personal trainer, Nick, this week. It was okay. He has a lot to learn.

We started by just sitting down and getting to know each other a little. I told him my whiny-ness level was at a 7 tonight (on a scale 1 to 10).  He seemed surprised I start my sessions this way.  I find it’s good to give my trainer an idea what they are in for before I land up throwing a tantrum in the middle of the gym, flailing my arms and whining “this is HARD!!!!”.  They should plan accordingly.

Grueling dueling

I’ve mentioned my past push-up duel with MidnightYell on Fitocracy, as well as my current pull-up/chin-up duel with ImpishFae.  Well, the situation has grown.  You see, FairLillith commented that she wished someone would challenge HER to a pull-up duel, so she’d be encouraged to do pull-ups.  So, both ImpishFae and I challenged her – and now we have a sort of three-way pull-up/chin-up duel going on through April 9.  Honestly, it’s not really fair since ImpishFae was only logging her unassisted pull-ups… and I couldn’t even DO unassisted pull-ups, so I was using about 50 pounds of assistance.

It’s been over six months since I updated my blog for my knit/crochet projects.  I admit, I haven’t been doing as much knitting or crocheting.  Since I’ve been working out and busy at work, I haven’t had as much time or energy to focus on making things out of string.  However, I have made more than the personal trainer and “mini-me” I’ve posted about.  Most were made prior to the end of the year.

I had another personal training session with Ron on Saturday.  That leaves two sessions remaining before he moves out of state.  Sadness.

Chin-up, Lintee Bean

Personal training with the awesome Ron tonight!  I did a little stretching while he finished up with his earlier client.  I’m starting a new stage of my “New Rules of Lifting: Supercharged” program and I like to go over my exercise choices with Ron, review form, etc.
