ive had a leisure centre membership for 6 months. I’ve regularly used Pilates with an excellent instructor. Occasionally used the pool. Rarely the gym. I’ve decided it’s because I have no idea what I’m doing or how to achieve anything meaningful. So I’ve booked a personal trainer there for just a few sessions. I want you guys to hold me accountable and keep me motivated. Putting it down in writing publically will help
My goals.
I’m sick of being weak. I want more muscle for strength, metabolic rate and glucose uptake.
I want to be able to do a real press up. Just one will do for now. I’ve never done one.
I have three teenage sons. They have a pull up bar in a doorway. I want to be able to hang from it for a minute, not fall off in a couple of seconds
I want to be able to squat in a seated position against a wall for a minute
Once i can do these things I’ll set new goals. I want to get to these in one month. Having lost 30lbs in the last few months i think these are more achievable than ever as I have less to lift/hold.
Any suggestions from anyone that knows what they are doing on small but progressive goals very very welcome please. I need the satisfaction of achievement for motivation.
