Hi Dancer! Yes, I am still "training" 2x per week. It's expensive but for me worth it. He really pushes me and adds weight all the time. He changes it up and keeps my form correct. It is mostly free weights, squats, lunges, with some machines. I am waaaaay stronger than when I first started. I can see now it is never-ending. He is now working on my strength (vs. endurance) so, for example, when I do squats he makes me do them verrrrry slow. This are really hard for me, but probably the best exercise of all because it involves so many muscles and core strength.Originally Posted by dancerindenver
Wow, CJ - good for you! Are you still working out with the trainer? Have you noticed a difference as far as feeling stronger? I'm thinking about adding some light weights to my exercise routine but haven't done it yet.
I also do cardio the "other" days of the week, and occasionally take Sunday off from exercise. I have also upped my cardio intensity as I have gone along, but it is something I need to work on more.
In fact ... I'm off to do cardio right now! You are starting out in a much better place than me ... I think you will do great.
