Breaking the Barrier
According to my scale at home, I have already lost 2 lbs since Tuesday. I owe part of that to my 
personal trainer, Mikki. I get 2 sessions per week as a part of the Weight Warriors challenge. Let me tell you, she is wonderfully brutal. She has me doing exercises that I had never tried before. Guys, I did ‘assisted’ pull-ups! I’ve NEVER been able to do one, so I hadn’t tried the assisted version. Another exercise that I was shocked I could perform, triceps push-ups. Ooh, both burn GOOD!
Here is what Mikki wrote about me in her blog:
We began on Monday, the beginning of the beginning. John did awesome, he put out the effort to meet each and every challenge I gave him. Each rep and set was tough but he stuck with it, soreness and all. John has a visual goal, so we are using heavier weights and less reps. We begin with 15 minutes of a cardio warm-up, next is the strength training session followed by an additional 30 minutes of cardio. He was instructed to add another day in between to round out a 3 day strength training week as well as 45-60 minutes of cardio on the off days, totalling 6 days per week. This schedule is not for the weak at heart, but John is ready to rock and roll.
The reason I haven’t been going anywhere recently, according to Men’s Health magazine, was that my body was bored. With Mikki cracking the whip… my body isn’t bored anymore!
