working on my wings

I've had my last 2 PRIZE Personal Training session yesterday and today. Yesterday we worked on shoulders, triceps, and chest, and today we worked on back, legs and core.

As yesterday wore on I could feel the soreness start in my shoulders... As I was working on my shoulder blades this morning, I just had to think I was working on my 'Wings'

I love it the soreness now!

Now it's up to me to decide if I'll continue with the Personal Training. BUT Jenna really went out with a BANG! I love these to workouts! it'll be hard to have the same effect without her. I don't know if I have it in me!?

It's a two workout day! and say HI to my best friend Advil!

I had a session with my Personal Trainer Jenna this morning!

I just wanted to document how nasty sweaty I get and how nice and pretty she stays.

Oh, yeah it's a love hate relationship!

But we did get to use the slick mat and I ice staked, that was so fun!

Now for my second workout for the day....

it was/is a back, leg and arm workout

It was over 100

on September 1st!??!?

I don't mind sweating

as long as the humidity is low.

It was low today with a strong wind!

So one side down another to go!

Now off to take Advil

my new best friend!

Personal Trainer Day 1

As the winner of the Y's Slim Down challenge I won 4 1 hour sessions with a Personal Trainer! Just the Trainer and Me! .... for 1 hour... Me and her, 60 minutes.

It was good, considering I didn't do any upper body last week and knew it was going to be hard.

We did .....
Pulling her with the rope
triceps weights
up right rows (shoulders)
push back (shoulders)
over head weights (shoulders)
bench press
step up
inch worm (core, not my favorite but I did them)
ball against the wall
planks (core)
superman (core)
circle 8 (core)

for 60 minutes, just Jenna and I!
well, not Jenna doing, she counts .. I do!
