I had an extra long appt with Trainer Guy at the gym this morning. He spent 90mins with me instead of the usual 50mins because he had no clients in the time slot after mine. I always appreciate the time spent working with him. He's good at correcting form and explaining what we're trying to accomplish with each exercise or stretch.
One interesting new thing being added into my routine - one legged squats. Have you ever done those? Aye-yi-yi! I'm definately going to be feeling those tomorrow. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment because I set up a follow-on appt with him for next Friday (the 9th) to work with him again.
Came home to find an email from Coach that started off like this:
"I hope you all enjoyed your holidays, but now it's time to get to work..."
Holy smokes, he sounds serious! Good thing I'm not slacking off *too* much.
With today's workout behind me, Daughter, her friend, and I are going to get pedicures this afternoon. Girl time! Besides, I think I deserve some pampering after the gym torture this morning.
Wow. It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of the year. Time sure flies, doesn't it?
Ohh have fun with the pedicures!!!
ReplyDeleteNothing is better than a pedicure after one legged squats :-) I do those on the P90X routine. What I like about it is that we do them high, then low, then high, etc... It gives us weaklings a break!!
ReplyDeleteOne legged whats??.... more like one legged fall overs for me.. OH maybe I should work on my core! ;o)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good session!!.. and some post-gym relaxation and fun with family as a pressie for your hard work :o)
Great workout GQ. Enjoy girl time, you deserve it. :)
ReplyDeletePretty cool that your trainer gave you that extra time. Have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOkay... you had me at one-legged squats... I can barely stand the feeling left behind regular squats, and yes I have tried one-legged squats. Youch!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are going to get down to business with training in no time. I am already started to get ready for my indoor tri in February!
trainer guy seems cool...
ReplyDeletenow give me 20 one legged squats...happy new year
Ah, one legged squats! The pinnacle of knee injury PT! That means you're almost done; I know they're hard, but you're almost finished with recovery.
ReplyDeleteOne legged squats?? I don't like your Trainer Guy ;)
ReplyDeleteone legged squats sound painful.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and happy new year!
Happy New Year, Glam-toed Gym Queen!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to imagine what a one-legged squat looks like, but I just can't picture it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your well-deserved pedi!
One legged squats are HIDEOUS!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you - enjoy the pedicure!
Have a great time getting pedicured! Sounds like you have great goals for 2009, like the injury free year goal. Me too!
ReplyDeleteThe sound of one legged squats makes me hurt.
One legged squats are truly a challenge. I would have to do them in the smith machine
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the squats! Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteyikes I am no good with the squats... ok how did you find your coach?
ReplyDeleteSounds like quite a workout! I need to get a trainer guy. ;o)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, one legged squats? I can't even do the two legged kind. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteI need a coach like yours. I hope you enjoyed the girl time and the pedicures. That is a nice treat this time of year.
