One of the perques I get with my gym membership is 3 personal training sessions at a pretty reasonable price...
I'm sure I can look this up - but i'm curious to know about your own experiences with personal trainers - ever been? How'd you like it? I know all experiences will be different - but I'm just curious if it's worth the added expense?
My head says, yes you need it because while you've mastered the treadmill and walking you know virtually nothing about how to use the other equipment.
The other side of my head says, after watching a personal training session with another woman who was much younger than I and she appeared to be very fit, she was struggling with the session.. wher the PT had her doing lunges carrying 10 lb weights in each hand. The bad voice in my head says - they'll make you do stuff that you can't do and you'll get frustrated annoyed and just quit (when I was younger and fairly athletic, i couldn't do a sit up or pushup to save my life)
There's a fine line that a personal trainer has to walk with me between getting me to do stuff that is in my capalities right now and making it too easy on me... as opposed to the other end and having me do stuff that i'm just not capable of right now....
I've no experience with personal trainers- so if you've been - how do you get them to walk that line?
