Thank you! I just started following you on FB then your Substack. I have lost 114 pounds. I would like to lose 15 more. Your perspective on loose skin showing actual progress was reassuring. But this post about the trainer relieving the mental energy of how to workout, when to workout, etc. I need that mental ease. Thank you!
So lovely to read this. I started with a PT when I started my MJ. That was a year ago. Since then I have changed my PT to one in my gym. The first PT gave me the confidence to move from home workouts and actually get into the physical gym. She helped me believe in myself and now I attend classes too. The comment you made about feeling stronger really resonated with me. I started this journey to lose weight . Now I continue it to get stronger and healthier. The weight loss is a bonus!
So much of this is so similar to my gym experience. I have been with my PT for 12 weeks now and I think one of the best things about it, is going there for two hours a week and someone else making all the decisions. I just turn up, do it, and feel good afterwards. It's so nice to have that mental break! My weights have gone up, strength improving every week - it's very good!
