The Greatest Gift
Monday, July 13, 2009
I thought I was being healthy: eating healthy foods, running, doing yoga and lifting weights-but I was still overweight and my running sessions were not as fun as the used to be..no runner's high like I used to have in my younger days. My parents, knowing how hard I was working at trying to be healthy, decided to give me sessions with a personal trainer for Christmas. This has been the GREATEST gift ever! Kelly, my trainer, is fabulous! Within two weeks, I could see results. I started losing weight, developed core strength and balance, increased muscle tone, and had more endurance during my running sessions. I look forward to my time with Kelly. She never has me do the same workout twice (I'm sure she lies awake at night dreaming up some of my workouts). She is absolutely one of the most positive and encourgaging people I have ever met. Her text messages between sessions keep me motivated. Kelly has helped me shed nearly 40 pounds and improve my running times by up to 40%. Yes, that's cutting my run time almost in half! NOW I get my runner's high!
