I always find that trainers don't put enough time into the psychology of the first few workout weeks - dealing with the pain, dealing with the soreness, dealing with the commitment... I find the best trainers are the ones that offer private businesses that have an agreement to use a gym's facilities, and not trainers hired BY the gym. That's obviously not the case for all trainers, but generally, that's what I've noticed. Really running their own personal business that they envision, they usually put more into making sure their clients stay repeat clients, more than someone just working a job. That being said, I've given up on the gym. I realized that for all its conveniences, I loathe it. I blocked out a lot of my negative feelings for a long time, but eventually had enough, and realized that there have got to be other options for getting in shape. I dunno, some girls are gym bunnies and just love it - I am just not one of them. I actually got lucky and found a martial arts instructor, and I love it! That's not for everyone either, but my point is that with all the activities out there, if you're not the gym type, then make the effort to find something else. Ok I'm rambling! Thanks for the laugh!

In fact, this morning, I counted vacuuming the entire house as my mode of exercise for the day and skipped the treadmill! :-D I agree, moving from one thing to another is definitely counted as exercise in my book!
