speaking of working out...

DG1

I bought a groupon for 3 personal training sessions last year. I was hoping to get into at least basic shape before I went, so he wouldn't just tell me "gee, you'd lose your chair ass if you ever actually got out of your chair."

But the groupon expires this week, so here I go. I'm pretty much terrified, but also excited that I might have access to an elliptical for 30 minutes or so. 

Random: I am shaving my legs for this, because it's embarrassingly bad, but I basically never do for H. He actually doesn't notice, and used to regularly compliment me on my "smooth" legs after the hair had grown out enough to be soft instead of prickly. I swear, the man is blind.

And his name is Sven and and his biceps are as big as your head.  <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />

Oh wait, but wouldn't that make you a whore? 

Technically, you are paying him.  So he'd be the whore.

Good for you.  Sometimes the worst is just getting there.

I went and lived.

We're going to do six 30-minute sessions instead of three one-hour sessions. At least I'll work out 3 more times.

He was good. I'm out of shape now, but I've got a lot of experience with fitness in general. We did 2 exercises I've pretty much never done before, and frankly, I was impressed he had anything new to show me. For the more basic stuff, he was able to correct subtle posture issues and move on with the working out vs. telling me how to stand or whatever.

No cardio there. There is a treadmill I could probably use afterward if I asked. It was nice(ish) today, though, so I went for a walk/jog in the park.

His rates aren't bad at all, and I hope to keep up some kind of relationship with him, even if it's just once or twice/month to check in on progress. Having that deadline might motivate me to work out in between.

Good to hear!  Keep at it.
