I am a firm believer in being self-made. I research recipes, exercises, and how to fuel and nourish my body in the best way possible. In the past I have looked at the members of my gym with their trainers and thought, "Well, I know what I'm doing, I don't need a trainer..." Wrong. Very wrong.
3 days after my first 2 training sessions and I am SORE!
Now, I will admit that it is pretty embarrassing to tell someone your stats and what your goals are. Saying to anyone (especially a fit man) that you want to work on your hips, rear, and thighs is quite humbling. haha But these people are trained professionals and are very encouraging. Not to mention they are great for accountability! At this point I am so determined to make sure my diet and exercise are on point JUST so I can make sure to make my trainer proud. If you spend nearly $500/year on gym fees like I do, do yourself a favor and get some personal training. You want to make sure you are making the most out of your money AND your time. So, yes ladies, this means PICK UP THE WEIGHTS! (Steps off soap box.)
Unfortunately, my training sessions - 4 total including the introductory session - are limited. The deal I got for these sessions was affordable enough but looking at the long term training costs... those are out of reach at the moment. :) But it got me thinking that I want to do this. I want to educate and motivate people to better themselves and live a healthier lifestyle. So, I am going to start researching how to become a certified personal trainer! Even if I can't become certified (maybe I can't afford it or have the time to do it) at least I am continuing to educate myself. Silver lining? :)
Meanwhile, I will continue to share what I learn (mostly on Instagram, I'm so bad at blogging!) along the way. If I can't personally train anyone, at least I can share bits of knowledge here and there!
