Some of you may find this demoralizing to women, but I personally found this video hilarious. Admittedly, I've said a few of these things to my trainer at one point or another...

    I am definitely guilty of a few of those. Just yesterday I told my trainer that I realized how many excuses I come up with during our exercises but I'll be damned if he ever believes one of them, lol.

    I was a trainer years back. So many of those things ring true. The best for me was the part about having worked with the trainer for years and not seeing results. I had one client argueing with me exactly the same way, and when we broke down her meal choices that week she was on the high end of a 3 pound gain.

    I got out of fitness because I hated being an accountability measure and abscially paid to count reps and say motivational things. There were a few genuine achievements that I am proud of though, so it wasn't for not.

    Cheers

    As a trainer and coach for many years I can honestly say that I have heard each of these. Many, many times! It's funny because it's true.

    "Look, I've got a big vacation coming up and I need to lose 30lbs, stat!"

    I'm a Powerplate personal trainer and some of the things I hear would make your toes curl.

    Just look at it as you keep trying and one of these days you'll hit the jackpot....and he will believe....he will.

    Alright, one of them I'm quite guilty of - the "am I don't this right?". I just don't want to be doing it in poor form! But, typically only the first time we do an exercise, after that I'm good.

    So what you're saying is I can't lose 30 pounds in a week?? *flips desk*

    When I first started with my guy, I warned him that I was going to swear, not only at him, but about his mother.

    He didnt mind.

    He killed me every time.
