Trainer: Hi Page, you ready for your complementary personal training session?
Me: You betcha.
Trainer: Swell! Let’s go.
(Exaggeration implied.)
What was thought to be a peachy-keen session in the weight room quickly transformed into a brutal abuse of my quads. Sure Mr. Trainer, I run marathons. But no, Mr. Trainer, that does not mean that the hour long training session should only focus on my quads. But this former football, wrestler and rugby player had another idea. Here, ladies and gentleman, is why I may not be walking tomorrow:
20 air squats
15 mountain climbers
10 crazy ab thingys
20 air squats
15 mountain climbers
10 crazy ab thingys
20 air squats
15 mountain climbers x crazy (instead of fast repetitions, bring each leg all the way up to your hands)
20 air squats
15 mountain climbers x crazy squared (in plank position, jump both feet up towards your hands at the same time, ending in sort of a frog position)
10 squats with weight bar
10 squats with weight bar
10 squats with weight bar
8 dead lifts with weight bar
8 dead lifts with weight bar
8 dead lifts with weight bar
10 lunges

8 leg presses on machine
8 leg presses on machine
8 leg presses on machine
Stretching…ahhhh…
You have probably now realized that I never do weights and really need to. So, if you are looking for a workout plan for tonight? Try this bad boy out then join me as we hobble down the stairs tomorrow.
In other not-so-healthy news, this weekend Chicken Face was sick so I stayed home to keep him company and do randomness around our apartment. Couple this with rain, rain and some more rain, and of course a girl has to make some cookies!
I wish I could share some great family recipe with you, but alas, they are just from my great granny Toll House. You may know her…she frequents the back of chocolate chip packages.
This is how we roll.
Happy Running!

Literally jumping on a box! Ha!
You are so awesome for helinpg me solve this mystery.

holy crap!! thats an insane workout!!!! go you!
That is quite a workout! If nothing else, at least now you will have legs of steel to kick your trainer’s butt for putting you through that torture!
Cookies and a workout…well done! I was going to run yesterday, but then it wouldn’t stop pouring down rain so I decided to bake a pie. Somehow I was too lazy to even bake that pie and ended up sitting on the couch for a large portion of the day. (Hence the name of my blog…)
I have never had a one on one personal trainer. I always decline those complimentary ones. Do you recommend?
Heck yes! Why not?! I admit it’s kind of awkward saying “no, I don’t need anything else past this session…” But if you can get over that, I say go for it!
