I've had 3 workouts with my personal trainer (my husband) at our fitness center (located in our basement). I have to say, our gym is pretty awesome. My husband is REALLY into lifting weights and we recently purchased what is the beginnings of his dream gym. We have: a bar, 5,000,000 lbs in various plates, a great selection of dumbbells (none of the 3lb pink variety), various storage for the plates and dumbbells, 2 benches, a lat pull down machine, a "chin up, pull down" monstrosity...it's great!
Since I'm so obscenely out of shape, we've spent my first 3 workouts figuring out what I am capable of. I have to say, I'm surprising myself. At my last workout, I was able to work up to a 135lb dead lift (I had 3 successful reps at that weight).
At my lightest, I was able to crank out several push-ups. At this ginormous weight, I can barely move. Not only are my muscles totally weak, I'm also trying to move a much heavier body. It's a double whammy. To try to get me back into the groove, my husband had me do 10 push-ups...ONE AT A TIME. It was so pathetic because I NEEDED the rest between reps. I tried a few times to "crank out" 2 consecutive push-ups but my body was not having any of it.
Since Monday's workout I have been ridiculously sore. My lower back is killing me. Tied for second place are my abs and the backs of my legs. I can't wait to do it all again tonight!
