My good friend has been seeing a personal trainer for 2 years. And asked me to go with her today. Preface: I worked out with a trainer years ago and LOVED it. Very hard toning weight lifting and core, ab workouts. I would leave barely able to walk or raise an arm. I lost a lot of weight and was very toned.
Well, today this trainer basically did all cardio. We ran around for an hour doing high-knees, bear crawls, back peddling, etc. It was a good cardio workout, but my muscles didn't get any resistance training. We did a couple rounds of push-ups and that was about it.
Is this normal? Have trainers moved away from lifting and just run drills now? I feel like cardio is something I can get on my own.
I don't know what to do b/c I don't want to go back and pay to get a cardio workout... but I also don't want to offend my friend.
I bit my tongue. I don't think this guy is what I need - I'm just scared to tell her... Thoughts... Also, set me straight if this is actually a good workout and I'm just not seeing it.
