have a personal trainer

I got suckered by the Sunday morning informmercial for Tony Horton’s 10 minute trainer. I ordered the program and cancelled my gym membership. I just received it in the mail today, so I haven’t given it a go yet. It does seem like a great product, and I’m am excited to do it. I don’t care about losing weight, but I do want to lose fat and get stronger. I did my “before” photos and measurements, and am just waiting for dinner to settle before I start. I have to admit, if I were to stick to this for 4-6 weeks, I’d be in pretty good shape. My before photos weren’t nearly as bad as I thought they would be :).

I just joined 24 Hour fitness and had a free 50 minute training session. The session was great and really informative, but I hate how it’s such a sales pitch. It makes me feel like I shouldn’t trust the person just because I know they are after my money. I guess when I have the money, I will be more open to actually going after this goal. It’s still a dream, but nothing I am going to specifically focus on at this time.

While I don’t have the money to pay for a personal trainer, I do have a gym membership at my local YMCA and I use the class teachers as my “personal” trainers. I just started taking spin classes and the teachers are awesome and the workouts are INSANE. I don’t think I need the excuse of wanting a personal trainer anymore. What I want now is to keep myself accountable for making it to the classes.
