Today was the last of 3 personal training sessions that I bought when I signed up to the gym. I actually get my money back if I go to the gym once a week for 12 weeks so it was worth it. However, i have to admit to being very glad that they are over.
I realise that having someone push you is a very beneficial element to working out and it would definitely help a person reach their goals, but for me all the personal fitness sessions made me want to do was quit my membership. After all of the three sessions I have been entirely exhausted (expected) and have not felt able to function for the rest of that night! Tonight this is an issue as I have small group and I am honestly very unexcited about going, I just want to curl up in the foetal position. After the first two sessions I also spent the following days in significant pain (expected) and this made life awkward. Now, joining a gym you expect a level of discomfort and a level of feeling sore for a few days. However I have a number of friends who are seeing results from the gym and not spending the rest of their life in discomfort, this is what I am going to strive for.
I do think the training was beneficial. I definitely know how hard i can work, I definitely reached my peak levels during those sessions. I also got some really good idea’s for exercises to make part of my own routine.
Being fit is definitely still a goal though I am looking forward to starting a more manageable regime.
