I was SOO excited after I got several different beginner's weight resistance workouts from my trainer at the gym. - then went out & bought the paperback copy of "new rules for lifting for women."
THENNNNN..... I got sick

I've been officially sick since wednesday. First, it was a sore throat... now it's progressing to a sore throat/stuffy nose.
I'm irritated because the only kind of exercise I've been able to continue doing is cardio while I've been sick, since after an hour of cardio exercise, I just go straight back to bed
I'm hoping I can get back to resistance training soon. It just sucks I have to wait, ugh.

I really hate it when that happens to me too. In the meantime, go ahead and look at some youtube videos of the lifts your trainer gave you. This will allow you to mentally rehearse good form and maybe pick up some more tips on executing the lifts.
