I skipped today....when was the last time you jumped rope....I think I was like maybe in highschool....

UGH! My trainer that it would be fun for me to do this torture today. I skipped rope for 50 min, interspersed with push ups and sit ups, and running up and down stairs and lunges and burpees (I won't even tell you what those are) ...should I go on....

I have a feeling I am going to be one very sore puppy in the morning!

I've heard that jumping rope for a workout gets to be really tough after awhile. I don't do it because it'll kill my knees.

Thanks Edye!!! *BIG HUGS!*

Actually, if you jump the right way, it actually works out your core, (abs) and your calves. You basically jump on your toes.....

I have never sweat so much in any training session as I did today...my hair was SOAKED...it was kind of embarrassing! Embarassed

So, today is most likely my last day with my trainer... Sad

....well full time anyways.

..... I need to clarify, it won't be my last time ever, just as often.

I can't afford the 3 days a week, it is too much $ with my honey doing it too. I totally want him to get the maximum benefit from this, since he still is a ways from his goal. So, I have cut back on my sessions so he can have more.

I hope that I have the stamina to push myself alone as hard as he pushes me. I will only see him once a week now, and that is really hard. I am afraid that I will start slipping backwards once I have to do it all alone. affraid

3 days without him and once with him.....EEK!

Um...I want to know what burpees are... Rolling Eyes

I do stairs at home, and since reading your post, I have included doing jumping jacks
and jump roping every ten stairs...so I'm curious as to what the 'burpee' is.
I forgot about the lunges though, I will have to include those, ick.

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

Darrin and I were able to work out having me get some more training sessions with Garrett! cheers

I will only be with him twice a week, and then twice on my own. So, I will have to toruture myself! I hope I can do that effectively.....

Garrett said he will just tell me what to do on the days that I am on my own. We signed Darrin up for about 3 months worth of training, and I think he will gain incredible strides in that time.

My hubby had such a great day yesterday! He was able to wear a jacket that hasn't fit for awhile, and his jeans are so big, he couldn't wear them! WAHOO!!! I was so proud of him ladies, I was just ecstatic... I love you
