I trained with one of the most experienced and senior PTs at the gym today (in fact, I think he might have been a Director) and boy did I know it! This guy is even more imposing than my regular trainer and has a demeanour that says “do not **** with me!” This is the type of guy I had imagined training me before I signed up for the programme. I have made many foolish and incorrect assumptions over the past few weeks, but one assumption I got absolutely spot on: it is incredibly difficult to give up when a giant it looming over you demanding one more rep.

After the hour long session that felt like four, I felt fantastic about what I had achieved and I even managed to get a cheery wave goodbye from my tormentor! I am not looking forward to the full-body-aches tomorrow.
