I finally broke ties with my Trainer!

Deby Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/08/05	2004/05/18, 11:50 AM :)It was a really difficult thing to do but I finally did it. I will start tonight on my own, well with my husband who just joined the gym last night. He is retiring from the Army (as of June 1) and has agreed to workout with me. He already has a new job and was just diagnosed with Type II Diabetes so he knows he needs the exercise. It is scary not having my trainer, but I always have you all out hear. -------------- Gramma

That is wonderful, it can be a little scary going in there and making your own decisions what to do instead of having someone tell you.. Are you following an ft plan or making your own? Either way you will find your rhythm in no time.. Good Luck! -------------- : ] ~Danielle The deepest rivers flow with the least sound.
Deby Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/08/05	2004/05/18, 12:10 PM I was going to try an FT Plan but I have been working with weights 3 days per week and doing full body each time. When I needed a change we would go with upper body one night, lower body the next and full body the next. On FT it looks like you do the whole body but over the entire week. I don't know if this would be enough exercise for me or not?:surprised: -------------- Gramma
	2004/05/18, 12:30 PM Long time no see Deby. Welcome back. The FT workouts may even be harder if you use the right amount of weight. But you can do what many here do and add exercises or reps to them. The arm workout FT gives me is almost never enough so I add to it. Back and leg days are killer enough so I leave them be. You can do this. -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie

I think a ft program could really benefit you! Don't be scared - if your trainers were good, they have taught you all you need to know to go it on your own!!! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.

And you have all these wonderful peeps on here!:big_smile: -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

I cannot believe how nervous I am about this, this is really ridiculous. I am printing out our FT workouts. I will let you know how the first night went. Thanks for being there. I am the type of person who needs the outside influence to stick with it. :love::dumbbell::laugh:
	2004/05/18, 07:36 PM Drop and give me 20 grampapat!!!!!! Welcome to FT. We will give you all the encouragement you need. Keep coming back. -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie

But it was not as good as I would like. He will be getting on here on occasion also. We will do better next time!!!:big_smile: -------------- Gramma
