Uhm, then I must have gained mucho, mucho muscles, because it’s been almost 4 days and I’m just starting to be able to go up and down the stairs in less than 30 minutes. ;)
Brilliant me had a brilliant idea to use a personal trainer at the gym. I figured they’d show me how to use the machines and work out where I need to work out. WELL… my ever so maniacal enthusiastic trainer worked me out at a level 2 — after I specifically stated I sit on my ass all day have not exercised regularly in 5 months.
After squats, steps, push-ups, leg lifts and arm pulls (all with weights), I’m surprised I was able to walk. But I was. For about 3 hours. That’s when it hit me. “It” being the pain that I would undoubtedly succumb to. And succumb I did. My legs were first to go. I needed to have the husband spot me as I came down the stairs. This was Friday morning (work out was Thursday at 9:30am). The rest of the day was worse. Sitting and standing was unbearable. Poor Lola had to help me at times! Saturday went on, pretty much the same, but today I finally made it down the stairs on my own.
Needless to say, I will not be using a personal trainer any longer. I prefer to use the treadmill. Nice and easy. :)
Awfully similar in nature...
