Wow!

I had my first personal training session today and all I can say is wow! I am so out of shape, it is scary. I use to be a college athlete and now I can barely do yoga posses. I feel aweful. She was even being easy with me.

I was dizzy throughout most of the session. Is this normal for not working out in years? I had a stress test done last year, so I don't think it would be my heart.

On a positive note, my trainer is great!

Re: Wow!

Did you eat before you worked out? The first time I worked out with my trainer I felt dizzy and light headed and then I realized I didn't eat. I will say it took me a few sessions to not feel weak during the workouts. Even if you are in shape, working out with a good trainer is intense and will zap all your energy.

Re: Wow!

i had a personal training session with my BFF a few months back and it was intense!
i think it's normal to feel out of shape, but if u get dizzy maybe u should sit down for a few minutes or get a drink of water so that u dont injure yourself.

it will obviously get better with time but i hope the next session is easier

Re: Wow!

Working with a training is great and will definatly get you back into shape.

I would discuss your dizziness with your trainer- they're very knowledgeable and can help you pinpoint the issue.

Great job!

Re: Wow!

I threw up after my first couple of sessions w my trainer. It made me feel like **** then, but now I can do the same workouts w 100x more strength. It's amazing to see how strong we can become. You're gonna do great!!!
