So my first day at the gym was hard, At HEW it is tradition to do a warm up jog before a warm up exercise (witch we do before the actual work out) I know it either sounds confusing or like a lot of exercise or both! Anyways my first day was a 500 meter jog around the building. I started out on top of the world like anybody that takes that potentially life changing first step would. My friend Andrew was jogging along side me, "showing me the ropes" telling we what to expect and I was gun-ho ab out it.... until about 50 yards after we started. I was exusted and out of breath and waived Andrew on. I learned then that not only was I really out of shape, but that breathing is a technique when running... one that I did not have...
Anyways I made it back in and everyone was doing push ups, I thought to myself "nice, I was really good at push ups back in the day" I hit the floor and knocked out a few...no problem. That's when I had the pleasure of meeting my first trainer Rob aka Shady (imagine Eminem on HGH) He says "Hey man try to move your elbow in near your body, its more effective." Ok no sweat...I couldn't do one! The rest of my work out was blurry at best, so was every one for the next few weeks. Until.......
Next: When the work outs went from "do anything to survive the workout" Do it to get better; Lighter, faster and stronger.
