New Trainer (Gold’s Gym)

Posted on 10. Feb, 2010 by in Challenge +, Gym

So yesterday after my complementary training session at Gold’s Gym I decided to sign up for 18 more sessions with Personal Trainer Lance!

We started our workout talking about my diet; what exactly I ate throughout the day. I told him I started a ‘Weight Loss Challenge‘ where I was restricting my calorie intake to 1200-1400 calories per day and exercising 3-5 times a week. I told him I lost 31 pounds in two months with the plan and he was impressed. He was concerned about my low calorie intake though, and thought that I needed to increase my protein which I thought was pretty high already, but he explained to me it wasn’t. :)

Once we got that out of the way he weighed me and got my BMI which was at 29%. It’s high yes, but nothing compared to the 45% I was at three years ago! So I was excited about that.

After talking some more we started our workout. He had me do all new exercises I’ve never done before (I’m pretty sore today); we only worked out for about 30 minutes before the hour was up but in that time I got a great workout. On top of that I ran 15 minutes and was done for the day.

I feel with Lance I can continue losing weight and build muscle so that’s why I decided to train with him. He wants me to document everything I eat for a couple weeks to monitor my intake. I pretty much do that already so that won’t be a problem. He also wants to increase my protein intake to 220 grams a day, which means I basically have to start drinking a protein shake every day to keep up.

I’m excited about having a personal trainer again, I can already feel it will be a challenge.

Oh and by the way, I’m not sure if the great workout I had yesterday helped or not but this morning I woke up at 234 lbs, a 3 pound difference from the other day. Maybe Lance knows what he’s doing? Or I was dehydrated? I’m not sure. I sure did leap pass the 100 pounds lost mark though!

JayLoss,
Current Weight: 234 o,O

OH wait! That means I get to have my Carl’s JR! Hmm, let’s see what my personal trainer says first.. :)

    CONGRATULATIONS on passing the 100 pound mark!!!!! That’s great. I see my trainer again this weekend (I only go once a month or so – and workout on my own in between), and I’m looking forward to getting a new routine and being sore again.

      Thanks, it hasn’t kicked in yet that I’m down 100 pounds since I started but I think a few months from now I’ll think back and say wow.. or something. :p

      I workout again with my trainer tomorrow. I’m going to see him twice a week for a few months. :)

    Congrats on passing the 100 lb mark. That’s huge! (No pun intended). I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on having a trainer. Never had one myself.

      Thanks!

      Trainers are well worth it because they can teach you a lot of different workouts you never thought about, how to fully utilize the gym. And if you get a good trainer how to eat better. I’m got one because I want to stop doing the same old exercises and try something new for a change.
