Personal Training Session #2

As I shared in my first post, Bo and I are both investing in our health by training with Eric and Lauren, our trainers at Equinox 19th street, 1-2 times per week, depending on our schedules.

We both have set very clear and reasonable goals for ourselves over the next few months as we look to improve our strength, health, and physique.

Thus far, each training session has been very unique. One session may be spent focused on strength while another revolves around dynamic movements and includes more cardio which keeps are heart rate up between sets.

On Saturday, I sweat through my second training session with Lauren. This session pushed me harder than the first session because it incorporated fast paced exercises, including body weight and free weights, while surprising my muscles with new movements such as the one above.

Lauren has given me permission to share our workouts with my readers. Of course, I do request that you ask your doctor and or gym staff before attempting new workouts which are unfamiliar.

Saturday’s workout consisted of the below exercises:

Set/Reps	Exercise
3×12	Walkout with Deadlift
3×12	Bodyweight Row
3×12	V Up
3×12	Bar Clear
3×12	Push Up
3×12	Alt Plank Hold
3×12	Curtsie Bench Clear (hardest thing ever!)
3×12	DB Uppercut
3×12	Back Extension

 

I’ll do my best to go back and provide links to these exercises so you can see exact form and description. For now, please enjoy the lovely pictures of me completing the back extension on the ball.

Question: What type of workout do you find the hardest? Strength, cardio, or dynamic workouts which involve a mix similar to boot camps or the above?
