I like my personal trainer. I mean, she knows her stuff. I also suspect she's trying to do me in.
For our first weight session we did a round-robin of brutal things to my body, most of which I don't actually know the name of yet. The abs were the most brutal, but seriously, even my fingers are a little sore from holding the weights! Tip for beginners: don't eat for at least an hour before you work out. Otherwise your stomach will betray you. My stomach didn't, but I don't think I was too far from it.
I do feel pretty good right now. It's just past midnight, and I'm a little sore, but not too bad. I had a reasonable day as far as eating right is concerned, and limited my drinking almost entirely, which I consider a great achievement for a Friday night. I also picked up some creatine - it may be witchcraft, but I'm going to give it a shot for a couple of weeks. It says on the box to drink 10 8-ounce glasses of water a day while you're on it. That's a lot of water bottles.
Even after one session I've noticed my arms are no longer hanging by my side. They kind of stick out when I walk.
It looks a little ridiculous, but I definitely feel tougher. Think this is jacking up my testosterone levels or something.
