Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it!

by workoutmommy on June 11, 2010

I’ve always said I want a personal trainer who pushes me beyond my comfort level. Well, I think I have met my match.

My recent session with Lonnie Hayes, from LA Boxing, was insanely intense. He hooked me up to this harness thing and made me chase cones. I felt like a rubber band and my legs were CRYING.  This was AFTER a few rounds of suicides and 5 count burpie things.

As much as I complained to Lonnie, I loved every minute. This is just the kind of creative body weight training that energizes me. It’s always different and not something I would ever do on my own. Thank you Lonnie. I love to hate you!

The day of this workout was not a good one for me. I had a lot going on at home and honestly did not think I had time for a workout. (remember how “me” time always gets thrown out the window in times of stress?) Had I NOT scheduled this session with Lonnie there is no doubt in my mind that I would not have exercised at all that day. Remember this if you are on the fence about getting a trainer—they help keep you accountable!

Never underestimate the power of a workout gang!

Here are some pictures of my torture training to enjoy:

If you are in the Northern VA area and in the market for a personal trainer, I highly recommend Lonnie Hayes. Send me an email if you want his contact info!

disclosure: none! I paid for this FUN with my own money!

WOW! OK, yeah, it does look like fun, but…WOW!
Why is it that the lovely, smiling trainers are always the toughest? Are they compensating for the fact that they’re trying to kill you? Or maybe they’re just imagining all the torture the will be putting you through…
