I went to my personal training (PT) on Saturday; since then please guess what I did ?? Yeah, right, I was in front of my computer including Sunday... :)
Therefore, I am about to burst with energy. I have this big ball in my stomach now, that I have to kick this ball out of my system. It will be out tomorrow as my next session is tomorrow. Nothing can describe my feelings better than this :)
I want to give a few reflections about last Saturday, as I had a bit different session than the previous ones that I had. Well, well, we worked on my upper body ! You know what I mean ? It means: work out on abs, arms, shoulders, it means exercises on the ground, it means crunches, it means lifting some weights, it means take a deep breath, and do it, take a deeper breath and not able to do it after the 5th or the 10th :)
I was distracted many times during my session on Saturday; had many things floating in my mind. So, it wasn't a very smooth session as I was somewhere else in my mind and then was coming back to the room again. This is something that I should learn, as I realized if that is the case, I just can not function well, I give up...I gave up couple of times on Saturday. Many thanks to my personal trainer, I kept on going. He is the definition of patience :)
OK, and here is a new toy for me: famous "kettle bell".
It is pretty obvious that you hold it from the handle and exercise with it. But, doing this one below is not that easy... As from the ground to upper level, it has to go fast, otherwise I am not able to lift it smooth and even I can not carry all the way up if I go slow. So, speed is the key in doing this.
The other toy is a bag - no, it is not like the ones that I have (as I am crazy about bags :) ) It is a "Challenge Bag".
I saw this and thought, oh, I will just hug it and carry around... but no, I had squats ;) Apparently, you can do all sorts of exercises with this one, see the video. I do not hear many screams in this one though :)
And I had many crunches (I do not know after how many years...).
Result : Sunday, very little pain. Monday morning OKish, Monday lunch time, I stood up from the lunch table and I could not keep straight...oh my ab muscles !!! oh dear, what happened, why all this ab muscle pain now :D
Human body is amazing, it responds, whatever you do, it responds so quickly...
Because it was continuously sitting for me for 3 days since Saturday, I look forward to my session tomorrow. Actually, I think I want to have muscle pain again, as sitting and not having pain felt much worse this time. 6 pack is very far away for now, but maybe I will get there some day :)
