Hired a Personal Trainer

Well, not really.  I signed up for 15 sessions of personal training at my gym.  Today was my first actual session.  Yesterday I had my initial assessment.

After taking into consideration my current age, height, weight, BMI. my new personal trainer Jarod, set me up on the following program:

Translated:

1. Cardio Warm Up (elliptical)
2. Corrective Upper Body Exercises:

• Rotator Cuff (stretch bands)
• T's (lay on back arms to side to the letter T) .... this is a problem for me from my surgery.  My range of motion on my upper body is very limited.
• W-Y (lay on stomach and simulate swimming breast stroke) ouch

3. Corrective  Lower Body (legs)

• Clam Shells (laying on side, legs stacked and in bent position, lifting knee-thigh into a clamshell position, then lifting knee-foot up to match) .. great burn

4. Foam Roller

• Glutes (sitting on foam with one leg crossed over until you roll onto "tender" spot
• IT Band (sitting on foam with elbow on the ground rolling on IT band on thigh)

5. Stretching

• Yoga Child Pose for Lats
• Calf Stretch (upper and lower)
• Pec Stretch on back .... ?? this one escapes me already!

6. Cardio (Anything:  Elliptical, swimming, treadmill, 30-45 min HR 120 (target)

Sorry about today's post.  Very boring for the reader, but I needed to make a documented note about my workout or I will forget what it means!!!
