I just got back from my first personal training session at Xsport gym, where I recently became a member. The sessions began with my trainer, Shane, attempting to convince me that I'm both underweight and fat. My diet is all wrong, and if I keep coming to the gym 5 days a week, I won't see any results. Apparently, no one makes any headway in the gym unless Shane is next to them. You need Shane.
He also tried to tell me that a 12 ounce burger has 16 grams of protein. And that beef in general is bad muscle building fuel stock. I disagree.
He then proceeded to take me down to the basement of the gym and kick my ass for half an hour. I did so many lunges my pants split. Stupid pants. I must say I got a lot out of my half hour in the way of sheer total body workout, but Shane also tried to convince me that I have to let a worked muscle rest 5-7 days before working it again to see the best results. He certainly made me unsure about what I'm supposed to do next.
Either way, I felt like he felt he had some secret that he would only share for just 5 easy payments of $59.99. No dice, Shane.
I'm going to continue to hit the gym, without the help of Shane or his fellow red sweatmongers. I get the feeling that it'll work out just fine so long as I keep at it.
