Had a session with my trainer today.
Say whatever you want about bourgieness, I don’t care, because working with a trainer is so awesome. She’s worth every penny.
To finish off a fairly painful workout today, I did a couple of planks (2 x 1 min). They’re better than they used to be. In that I could do them before, but if it was after an hour of exercise, I might buckle at 30 secs.
Today I started laughing as she put the exercise balls away while I was getting my plank on. She asked why, and I said that for a second I thought she was picking them up to put on my back.
Of course, now that I’d put it out there, that’s what she did. Not too much weight, maybe 8 or 10 lbs. To my pleasure, I held up.
And, as I said “that’s cool, but is that a real thing, or are you just trying to keep yourself entertained? I mean, so long as it’s a weight that’s fine, but if you start putting your sneakers and lunch on my back, I’m going to get suspicious.”
It’s important to let people know that you know that they know that you know… Otherwise you end up with sneakers on your back.
