Jean and the personal trainer

August 30, 2007

Hi

Let me know how it goes with your trainer.

I have been through a similar process, although I did not hire just one coach.

I went to a nutritionist, and then when deciding to get serious and not let my

health slip (and with the aim of a triathlon) I also found a good sports

therapist. I would love to swap tips.

I try to get to the gym at least 3 to 4 times a week. In the past I have really

benefitted from aqua aerobics. I did yoga for a while (2 years) but I found it

was not getting me where I needed in terms of stretching (I have loose joints so

wound up taking the yoga in my joints and not my muscles where I needed it). I

now do physio work about 2 hours a week of what is in essence intense stretching

and soft tissue work.

I also find that naturally I benefit more from protein and vegetables, although

with the triathlon stuff I am doing I NEED CARBS sometimes after a hard workout.

What can I say?

Let's keep sharing tips, either on or off list,

Donna
