so i have this new trainer. we'll call her... Suzie. she seems to know what she's talking about and my legs feel like noodles after working with her for just one hour. there's just one problem though, she's a bit of a moron.
maybe i'm just being a picky elitist but it's really hard for me to listen to someone when i don't respect them on an intellectual level! there are actual practical issues too. she can't really express herself very well verbally so i'll be in the middle of an exercise and she tries to give me an adjustment and i have NO idea what she's talking about.
i know i should probably just suck it up and keep working with her since she seems to be convinced that i can lose AT LEAST 30 pounds by my next birthday (she actually said this - i remain skeptical), but i dunno, i'm tempted to find someone else.
am i being totally ridiculous? someone advise me please....

I think it's important to work with someone you respect and more importantly, someone who can intelligibly relay instructions. Such people do exist. You should ask around.
ReplyDeleteI just had my first session with a trainer and she is great. She's the wife of my coworker, and she watches MAD MEN and loves eating and cooking ("That's why I exercise" she says).
Perhaps you should move to Chicago and work with her!
Well - I would assume that your feelings toward your trainer would directly affect how you feel about working out and going to your sessions... So if the fact that this woman is a dummy is affecting your motivation, I'd say get someone you don't loathe. Nobody needs another reason to avoid the gym. Good luck!! xx
