First Day at LA Fitness slash First Day with a (Sexy) Personal Trainer

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo...........I went to LA Fitness for the first day of my membership! I'm really feeling it now but that's so good!!! The gorgeous men that worked there showed me around and then I was given the choice of taking advantage of my first day of personal training.

HECK YES!

So this tall, slender, cute guy comes over (blast it! I can't remember his name!) and he worked me hard..........(that's what she said). No, but for real. Oh my word! I literally felt like my muscles were going to start on fire- it was AWESOME!

I was taught that strength training should be worked into your workout regimen so you can build muscle and low body fat. I will be doing strength training every other day and allow each muscle group I use to repair itself over the course of a week. When we strength train we are breaking down the muscles, not rebuilding them. So if we break the muscles down..........we need to rest them and give them time to reshape and heal.

I also learned that strength training needs to be done before cardio. Glucose is released and heightened when we strength train so after our sessions, it is best we utilize that spike in glucose to help burn fat during cardio!

Cardio day tomorrow and I'm going to be ready to kick some HUGE BUTT-----MINE!
