I had my personal training session with Moe Wednesday afternoon…I would’ve posted my blog then, but I was having difficulty lifting my arms…in truth I’m still feeling a little pain, but I’ve gotten used to it.

So once again, I was in my high-water sweat pants, but at that point, I really didn’t care anymore. Okay I did, but I figured no one would notice anyway.

I got to Body Business (Anderson) fifteen minutes early. I decided to make the most of my time by warming up before my session officially started. I hopped onto one of the spinning bikes, and got to peddling. Now, I ride my exercise bike almost every morning for nearly an hour, and my butt should be okay on any seat, but I gotta say that spinning bike had the most uncomfortable seat known to man. Seriously, the FBI could put a suspect on this thing, and after a few minutes they’d be ready to confess. Luckily, I went numb back there after about ten minutes.

So Moe strolls over, and we chat for a bit. Moe says that we’ll be doing something I’ll really enjoy. During the course of our conversation, we watched a man nearly wipe out trying to catch his magazine which had fallen while he was using the treadmill (which is why I don’t read anything while I’m on that particular machine).

After my warm-up, we moseyed on over to the free weights area. I had to do 30 reps with this 40 pound barbell. And then we did some other arm exercises that nearly killed me. And then we moved on to the leg machines. Again, felt like I was gonna keel over. If you’re thinking that was the fun part, you’re wrong.

We went into one of the big rooms and did some kickboxing. Did I enjoy it? You better believe it! I strapped on the gloves and went a few rounds with the bag. I was a first timer, but I did quite well. Guess all those Rocky viewings came in handy.

So I punched and kicked ‘til I was exhausted, then mean ol’ Moe (I’m kidding, it’s just fun to say Mean ol’ Moe) dragged me back over to the weights and we did another set on those machines.

Moe worked my butt off! I was all kinds of sore driving to work, but it was all worth it. Besides, I needed all that to work off the 2 chocolate chip cookies I had earlier in the day. I swear, someone has had a birthday almost every other day for the past 2 weeks, which always means cookies. I hate those Sagittarians, they’re making me lose my will power.
