So I should start off by saying that it was at the dreaded planet fitness where I seemed to have caught the attention of a trainer while doing my deadlifts... I figured I would share these lovely little gems which fell from his lips to try and contaminate my workout...

1.I should be doing sets of 25 at a lower weight..

2. Back extensions work all the same muscles as deadlifts and are more appropriate for me. I think he meant because I was a girl but he didn't say it )

3. I should "tone" my muscles

4. Dr. OZ says.........(I toned out after the words Dr. Oz)

Exsersize is the least important part of weight loss and I should cut my calories down to a maximum pof 1200 ..Mind you I'm 5'9 and if I eat 1200 calories I may kill something and become hangry.....


I told him he was wrong ,he told me I was cynical lol..

    Planet Fitness strikes again. I'm surprised he didn't try to hand you a slice of pizza while you were lifting.

    He sounds like a fruitcake. Maybe an older guy with old fashioned methods engrained in his chauvinistic head?

    That is what a trainer learns when he gets "certified."
