I can confirm that following session one, the post-train pain does come to a holt (after a week of ridiculous John-Wayne-walking I was back to normal*).

*I’m not sure I can realistically put myself into a category of ‘normal’.

Anyway, yes, wow! I’m five personal training sessions down, five to go, and I’m really starting to see a new me emerging. The new me includes not only a much more trimmed, toned physique (I imagined I had a six-pack after Thursday’s session), but I’ve got super-duper stamina and focus; I’ve cut out the excessive caffeine drinking and majorly reduced the vino consumption! Bonus indeed. Yes, it is the official Chloe writing this post.

And I hate to admit it, I’m loving it. Although getting up at 6am every Thursday remains a pain in the derriere, once I’m up and out it’s all good. I’d maybe even go as far to say I look forward to it.

I’ll be back with progress reports soon!

I couldn’t go without mentioning my fab PT – Steph – who I’d highly recommend. She pushes me to my limits, and makes every session fresh and fun (it also helps that she’s a fellow Yorkshire lass!). I’ll get her details posted soon, but give me a shout if you want to find out more.
