    I am really lucky to be able to use a trainer. I am a militarry wife and the program is offered for free through the post all you have to do is want to be healthy and they will help you in every way they can. Plus it keeps young wives out of trouble when their husbands are deployed. This trainer also trains for competition power lifting and fitness competions. I am really exxcited about it and I am even thinking about seeing how good my results are forst then I might do a competitors training program. No power lifting but fitness modles they have a killer routine.

    A free trainer? That is so cool. I am lucky too though because I have the support of my Wellness Dept here at work (where they also have personal trainers, but at a price) and I work out at a physical therapy facility that is also a fitness club - with a pool. So I am literally surrounded with fitness experts at my disposal. :smile:

I went to talk to the trainer yesterday and shhe looked and me and said that if I can stick with her for the first 2 weeks ill be ok but I will hurt she said I promise you WILL hurt. So I am a little nervous but excited.

    :smile: WOW . . way to go, Rachel! You are taking on a lot and I am proud of you! And you too, Ashley! Sorry guys . . but I didn't burn my 1000 calories tonight because my hamstring is still a bit sore. But I got almost halfway with 400, plus after I finish eating here, I am going to try a new exercise program thingie I bought at Target. It's a resistance cord and it comes with a workout dvd and I think I might like it!! Looks fun and it was on clearance for only $10.48 so I just couldn't resist!

    Anyways, GO TEAM PURPLE!! We rock!! The Little Team That Could!! woot woot!! :smile:

    Well, I actually managed another 217 calories last night doing the resistance cord workout. But I just wasn't feeling the instructor on the DVD at all . . she was not very good and didn't really explain the moves or how to hold the cord.

    Anywho, I am going to try Jillian's dvd because I've heard so much GOOD about them - plus I bought 2 of the dvd's last night so I am kinda committed to trying them now. LOL

    I also checked with my local library and they have a couple of exercise dvd's (not Jillian ones though - bummer!) but I might go check and see what their selection is. It would be a good way to try out the dvd/workout for no cost. :smile:

    I hope you all have a great day and GO TEAM PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy:

    The six pack one (primarily for abs which is a huge problem area for me!) and the Jillian Michaels for Beginners which targets a ton of different areas (legs, abs, arms, etc.) I also checked out a couple of dvd's from the library this afternoon - one is Pilates for Dummies . . LOL!! :laugh: And another is Pilates for Beginners. It was the only 2 dvd's they had for fitness that weren't checked out so I figured it couldn't hurt to try Pilates too and hey, it was free! My library even lets me check out both dvd's for 3 weeks! How cool is that? I figured I'd get it for a week or 2 tops.

    I didn't see that one at the store, Ashley. I think I'm actually going to try the Pilates ones before I break open the Jillian Michaels dvd's. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I was going to try it tonight, but gosh darn . . it's late and I'd best be thinking about bed. :smile:

    Sorry, I have not logged on to this post for a while. I get home so late eat dinner and go walking with my daughter. I have that 26.2 mile marathon I'm doing for season 1.

    I have been using the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD it makes you sore for the first couple days and level 2 is soooo hard, so I need to keep to level 1 for awhile.

    I'm on a weight loss team at work and our team name is Mission Slim Possible:)
