I am spending a good chunk of my time today at my desk and look forward to getting up and moving!

I had one of my trainers work me out a couple times over the last few weeks. Why? because I believe in what I do and if I want other people to pay for my services (or barter form them!) then I should be doing that myself. Never mind that it feels great to be a client, it’s fun!

Have you ever been “trained?”…if your answer is “yes” then I bet it was great! If it wasn’t, find a new trainer lol! If your answer was “no I have never been trained as a client”…then what are you waiting for? It is awesome!

This is one of the workouts that we did and it included some Corrective Exercise, Kettlebell Work and Training Rope Drills;

Whew!

It had been a while since I trained with this intensity and will crank up the intensity even more next workout and let you guys know how it goes! Do you wonder what I had Ross (my trainer) do???

This guy (R0ss) put this workout together for me and brought me through it. He hates this picture and he has put on 10-15 pounds of muscle since. He has spent the last year or two getting ready for Osteopathic Medicine School and missed some work outs along the way. He should be starting in January 2010. Ross is a Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist though the National Academy of Sports Medicine and works with me at the Longfellow Sports Club in Natick, MA. I am looking forward to Ross joining the A-TEAM!
