It's fun to stay at the YMCA!

gridloreYou know I had to do that.
Had my meeting with a personal trainer at the Y this morning. Went incredibly well. I explained my goal of regaining some of the muscle tone and endurance I had before the stroke and my limitations. He immediately came up with a plan for me that starts slow and we can build on that from there.
I told Randy that I expected to come at least three times a week. My workout is going to be 40 minutes on a recumbent bike (which has a TV, so I need to dig up some headphones) followed by reps on a push-up machine and a rowing machine. Total time, about an hour. He also recommended getting in the pool either for aqua aerobic classes or just during free swim to work on motion.
Extremely happy with this. Also, you log your workouts (most of the machines do it for you) and earn points. Earn enough points, and you get t-shirts!There's also such a great sense of community here, and no gym rat pressure. I foresee spending a lot of time at the Y.
Now if I can just get that damn song out of my head...
