I haven't exercised for almost a year and just started it again last Tuesday with my trainer a 22 year old nice guy. Since I'm not allowed to work as hard as I used to the begining sessions have been using my body weight, which is more than enough.
What I used to think was too easy is now hard work. And to boot the gym has lovely large mirrors where I can see my mishapen body. Not to good for the self esteem but definitely a motivation to get back into some semblance of shape.
At the end of today's workout I said to him, "Is that all you've got?" He laughed and said "I haven't heard that in awhile." I thought yeah...about a year ago.
