So I've had the day from hell today.
My train from Rugeley got delayed by 40 minutes, meaning I wasn't going to make my PT session! Prior to this, I didn't get a very good sleep; 5 hours at most. I don't know what it was, my stomach hasn't been right lately, so I was in a little pain throughout the early hours of the morning.
I apologized to Dan (PT), and in the end he only did about 20 minutes to half an hour with me. In a way, I partly think that my train getting delayed happened for a reason; I haven't had much energy today, my balance and posture have been poor...
However, I have learnt some new techniques that could help me tone more! I usually lift quite heavy with my legs, and Dan suggested that instead of lifting heavy and doing reps of 10, I should lift fairly light starting with 40 reps. I tried this, and wow.
Lets just say, I could really feel the burn. Dan was right of course.
He then went through 3 sets of leg, abs and arms exercises with 30 second breaks in between. I thought I was dying!
I was sweating, shaking and... Failing.
Because I'm not use to doing these types of exercises, I did find them really hard; nevertheless Dan did reassure me that this was only my first time. True, I guess.
I'm not giving up without a fight.
I will post some progress photos over the weekend.
Ciao for now.
