Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Before you call 911, let me explain. I started working out with a personal trainer yesterday and I can't get out of bed today!


The Belles also started our conditioning program yesterday getting ready for the first running challenge. Stacy asked me to compare the two workouts. I don't know if that is really possible, but I will give it a shot.

Warm up

Me - 10 minutes on the treadmill

'Belles - Dynamic stretching (this alone would have done me in)



Work out

Me - wall squats, modified lunges, other various weight bearing exercises while I had to balance on some rubber ball contraption!

'Belles - 4 or 5 sets of 1 x 200, 2 x 100



Cool Down

Me - I sat on a leather couch, drank some water, and discussed when I might dare come back

'Belles - Two times around the track - jog the curves, walk the straight aways (by the way Bailey wanted to do this with them, so we jogged the first curve and then she saw Kannon playing with Stacy on the high jump pit, so we were done)



The next morning

Me - can't get out of bed

'Belles - Hopefully jumped out of bed eager to go to class and anticipating today's workout!



I will leave it up to you to compare the workout of the 18-21 year old college athletes to the workout of the 43 year old mother of two who hasn't been a college athlete in 20 years.


By the way, my trainer said I was in pretty good shape! Of course I am paying her a ton of money.


More importantly, I was very pleased with the 'Belles workout yesterday. The effort was great and I thought the conditioning level was pretty good. The first group a.k.a. the fast group consisted of Alix Flores, Camille Perkins, Kori Hall, Jasmine Fuller, Cassi Wright and newcomers Ashley James, Leah Lemaire, and Morgan Youngblood. After the first 100, Camille and Alix who did not win, commented about how old they were. We have a couple of freshman that were very impressive on the track. Lets hope they can shoot, pass and dribble along with that speed!


FYI - Lauren Holt looked great!!!!!


Thank goodness my computer is by my bed, so I can at least post on my blog. I might have to text Stacy to let her know I can't get up and make it to practice today. But, I have banned cell phones from the Junell Center, so that might be a problem! Oh well, I guess we will just see how long it takes for someone to come looking for me.
