Welcome back to otisamantha x Vesna personal training diary series.
Session Number 1
We went straight to work, I thought I’d get like some sort of sit down, slow stretch, y’know, like yoga, where we kind of just lie there in the heat and roll over?
FOR SOME REASON,
In my mind, I assumed skipping would be 10 times easier in comparison to running, and so in my very shortlived light bulb moment, I decided to start off with skipping. Brought back memories of skipping rope during elementary, how hard could it be right?
Wrong.
Set 1: Skip rope continuously for 3 minutes (for 3 sets) with short breaks in between.
It started good at first, I was humming songs in my head, and then as it hit the first set of 3 minutes, all the slow, calming songs playing in my head stopped, and let’s just say that I’m so unfit and the next 2 sets felt like an eternity.
Set 2: Ab Work
5x fingers to knees
5x elbows to knees
5x hands to chest
5x hand behind head
5x fingers to temples
Lift your legs up as you lie down and look at your toes (what do you even call that?)
ENGAGE YOUR CORE. Like when you sing?
Set 3: Weights
We worked on gradual progress, so increasing weights slowly. I survived.
Set 4: Lunges
What I really appreciate about Vesna, is that she adapts based on client’s needs. You know when you watch shows like the Biggest Loser and the trainers are yelling in your face asking you to keep at it. Yea, no, Vesna pushes in a very subtle way and it’s really motivating, so thank you girl, I didn’t pass out or puke. Her motivational messages everyday work too.
Shout out to Sugar Ray Boxing and Fitness located at West 3rd, Vesna Bliss Personal Training and my lovely bottle of water.
