Trip to the GYM!

Monday, June 22, 2009

Today I had my appointment with a trainer at the gym to go through my first workout. They also did my body fat percentage with callipers and I’m stoked to report it was 32.8% so it was much lower than the scale measurement which came in at 40.3%. That’s a huge difference so I was pleased that they pinched my fat lol. They’ve done me a split program so upper body on one day and lower on another day which means I can go on more days and not lose momentum…hopefully ;)

We just went through the whole upper and lower workout but only 1 set and then next time I go it will be 2 sets and then 3 sets. It was super hard, I am extremely unfit so it was definitely challenging, but this is what I want, I’m not going there to hop on a piece of cardio equipment and read a magazine. I can already tell I’m going to be very sore tomorrow…bring it on, I love sore muscles!

  1. Fun! Working out will do wonders! I haven't been losing very fast but I can definitely see a change in my shape from the workouts I've been doing.

  5. More awesome progress! I love the primal lifestyle, when I was first losing a lot of weight and trying to get in shape I did exactly what you're doing and it really helped me keep momentum like you're saying. After I lost the first 50lbs I plateaued and switched to kettlebells. When you're ready for them, they can be a really great portable gym. Anyway, take care!

  6. Yeah it was fun, I really enjoy it when I do it! Man am I sore today so hot bath may do the trick, but in another sense I really like the feeling, odd I guess :) I have seen a lot of people talking about kettlebells, seems like a great idea for a portable gym for sure.
