TWO DAYS IN!

 
 
After my first two days of workouts I'm happy to see that tomorrow is a rest day!  I've just finished up a 45 minute bike spin group at Catalyst and am refueling while I write this.
 
I'm so pumped about this project!  The first question I get when I tell people what we're doing is "why"?  I have a lot of reasons for wanting to do this.  I've recently had some big changes in my personal life and have come to realize that there are a lot of aspects of who I am that I need to change or work on......This is one of those things.  Also, we always hear the experts say that even the best trainers shouldn't be responsible for thier own training.  When we train ourselves, we often become too biased or too proud to admit our weaknesses.  In the next 8 weeks, my nutrition and workouts will be taken care of by the best in town.  I've never been a terrible eater, but Kelly Burton is going to show me exactly what to eat and drink.  I'm one of the best qualified trainers in town, but I haven't worked as hard as I have in the past two days, in several months!  If you had the best at your disposal, wouldn't you be stupid not to take advantage of the situation?
 
The other question I get is "what are you training for?"  The simple answer:  To be awesome.  The serious answer?  I want to be powerful!  I play a lot of sports where explosive sprinting and jumping make a big difference.  I want to be able to dunk a basketball in eight weeks.  I love deadlifting, maybe because it's the one lift that I excel at, but I also want to put up some serious numbers on squat and bench.  I'm mot doing this to be a bodybuilder....I'm doing this to be strong and powerful.  But if a by product of all of this is a great set of abs, I probably wouldn't say no.
 
Last but certainly not least, I'm doing this for every one of my clients.  I want to be accountable to you the most.  I want you to see that I'm willing to try new exercises on myself first before I throw them at you.  I want you to know that I sweat and grunt and push myself to the limits just like you're willing to do each and every time you come here.
 
Hope you all enjoy this, please check back often, I plan on keeping a detailed account of every up and down for the next 8 weeks!
 
See you at Catalyst!
