Training Session

I joined a new gym recently that gave me some free assessments for joining. Even though I know a lot about working out and lifting weights, it is alway nice to have a refresher and get a different perspective. This morning I had a great session with a trainer. We did a lower-body workout and I felt really good afterword. While he didn’t necessarily show me anything new, he had me do things that were outside my normal routine and pushed me a little harder than I probably push myself. It was a good experience.
Most gyms will offer some kind of free training opportunity, whether it is complimentary session or trial offer or whatever. If those kinds of situations ever present themselves, take ‘em! Sure the trainer will probably try to sell to you, but I think it is always worth it to get a little kick in the pants and see some new and fresh stuff.
If you’re not in a position to hire a trainer, it is also worth it to ‘invest’ every 6-12 weeks in a session to help stay on track. Most reasonable training sessions are going to be $70 or less for a one time shot. (The price typically jumps way down the more sessions you commit to purchasing.)
