After 5 sessions

So, I'm at the end of my taster sessions and am convinced in the benefit of having a personal trainer. I've signed up for three a week in September so hopefully I'll start seeing some good results :) Bit of a bummer this week was that while collecting my bag from the airport in Cyprus I leant a bit funny on a railing and (think) I bruised a rib. This meant I couldn't go as hard on the training as I wanted to.

August is busy for me, so I've not had a good chance to get my extra sessions (non-PT) or Body Combat in very much. That is changing now as things start to slow down for the winter.

I've also noticed quite a big change in my appetite in that I'm getting hungrier, and have ordered a box of different supplements to support my increased training. One of the best things about having the personal trainer is that you do end up going for the three sessions a week - whereas in the past sometimes I've skipped on the gym for 2-3 weeks at a time. Having the sessions booked in (and paid for!) certainly helps you keep the habit going.

Today was my first running session in the park, and it left me feeling pretty zonked afterwards. It involved some jogging, sprinting, and hill runs intermixed with some sit-ups and press-ups. One thing I have certainly noticed is that the press-ups are getting much, much easier very quickly.

Here's my photos after the 5 sessions.

So, even with the small number of sessions I think there's quite an improvement already. Let's see how it progresses!
