Using a Personal Trainer pays off!

So, if any of you are waivering on if to find a personal trainer- I say "go for it". You will not be dissapointed. My husband did just that back in September and the results are amazing. You get pushed to fatigue and it feels great. Yes, I do feel like I want to die or throw up, which I have by the way- thrown up- not die.

The workouts are hard, but you feel better about yourself and you feel as if you have accomplished something beyond your potential. You push yourself beyond your comfort zone and it feels good.

Our trainer uses no expensive machines. She brings an exercise ball, medicine ball and some strength bands and that is it. We use our own body weight to lose weight- it's true! We do pushups, pullups, lots of core exercises, bench dips, shoulder presses, bicep, tricep curls, core exercises, ab exercises- did I mention core exercises, and lots of wall sits (ouch!). It is all good.

Here is my progress from the last 3 months.
