I got a personal trainer
In the recent past I’ve started doing more exercise related activities (trapeze lessons, kayaking trips, walking in the evenings). They have all been really enjoyable and the only thing that makes them not as enjoyable as I’d like them to be is the fact that I lack enough strength to take it to the next level. So having a free corporate gym membership and all, I decided to get a trainer there. I went for my first meeting/workout yesterday. Before going I considered myself fairly fit. Unfortunately, that appears to be less true than I thought. I weigh 142, and I am 27% body fat, which at 5’6” makes me obese. No, I don’t think I look fat or have any issue with that. But it was a real wake up call. If I keep up my current way of being I am shaving years off of my life.
I did my first workout which consisted of tons and tons of lunges. Every kind of lunge possible I did (probably?). After I was finished I literally could not walk. Still having some walking issues today. Anyhow, I decided to write a blog about it. So check it out if you want.
