Back to the gym after not going regularly for 3 years. Once or twice a month doesn’t really count as it doesn’t really do anything. After numerous failed attempts to get back into a gym routine, I figured I didn’t have enough discipline to get myself into shape so I signed up for 24 sessions with a personal trainer to whip my ass into shape.
1st Session was about seeing what my body’s limits were. This was done after a series of tests and measurements which told me I’m a freak. My right arm is bigger than my left arm. Muscle mass differs by about 0.5% which doesn’t sound like a lot until it’s measured. Difference in bicep circumference is a quarter of an inch. My trainer was taken aback and had to measure it twice to make sure he didn’t get it wrong. I guess all that tennis has had an effect.
Takes away after the first work-out:
1) Your body needs regular strength exercise and after a long period, you’d be surprised at how weak the muscles become. I could hardly complete 5 sit-ups in a declined position.
2) I was feeling light-headed at the end of 60 minutes so don’t be over-zealous with pushing too hard. Your body goes into shock after the 1st work-out. I fell asleep after I got home for 10 hours.
3) Be mindful not to lock your elbows as you return to the start position in-between each rep.
4) My trainer told me enough rest post work out, 6 – 8 hours, and good eating is important the next day to get the benefits from the training.
