A Journey To Fitness

So in my last post I think I mentioned that I had gotten a few sessions with a personal trainer. The first was basically to go through the exercises that I'd be doing during my 3x a week sessions. This past week I did a session with him where I did one of the days exercises. He increased the weight and we did three sets instead of the normal two I get through during the week. Not bad but I can definitely feel it even two days later. I'll be going later today to do my day 2 session. I do have to say that each session at the gym (with or without a trainer) I am able to feel it a day later (although 3 days later for a trainer) and it motivates me to keep going.

I'm hoping that as I progress and the workouts change up that I'll notice a difference. It's nice to know that I get measured/weighed every 4-6 weeks and at that time will probably change up the workout that I am doing. I definitely want to improve and I think adding the resistance training in is what I need to help with my level of fitn...
