Personal training truths....

Ugh... this guy is different.  In different I mean, he's gonna kick my heiney into next year.  I'm hearing "Hurt So Good" in my head. And I'm a little scared.

2 things He's told me that I need:
1.  A heart rate monitor. I've known for a long time that this is only going to work if I push myself.  Somehow I've deluded myself into thinking that I don't need one.  I'm looking at a FT7 polar tech.  My friend swears by one.
2.  A foam rub. I know, I know, sounds really dirty.  Apparently this is part of stretching.  Since I don't do any stretching at all, this is essential to start.  He wants me to start using these foam things to rub big muscle groups.  He tried the 'medium' one on me and it wasn't too bad.  So I'll see if I can get one for myself.

I thought that I would be doing a work out with him, turns out we didn't. So I did 10 minutes on the treadmill, met my friend and walked 120 minutes in the city.  In the *freezing* cold!

235/1680.  I'm ahead! :)
