First ever session with a personal trainer this morning. Enjoyed it. I will be healthier next year.
@ChrisJWilson Yep, and in the PT’s own words, it means I don’t have to pay the inflated January price!
@philbowell I’ve been training with a personal trainer 2-3 times per week since my late 60s at a gym started by Dan Ritchie. I hate to think how doddering I’d be had I not done so.
@ReaderJohn @philbowell I had just gotten back to hitting the gym at the start of the pandemic, when our fitness room got closed—and I resolved not to let that stop me. For six years now I’ve been working out seriously. It has been helping a lot, in terms of making me feel better and move better.
@philipbrewer @ReaderJohn @philbowell My sense of balance is horrible (vestibulae don’t work properly - I got the balance problem diagnosed), but with strength I’ve managed to avoid falls or relying on a cane.
@ReaderJohn @philipbrewer glad it’s been such a help for you! I’m hoping to improve my posture from all this desk sitting I do and shift some weight as well. Hopefully I’ll see other benefits as well. Keep up the good work gents!
@philbowell @ReaderJohn I just heard a podcast interview with the author of Stronger: The Untold Story of Muscle in Our Lives, which made it sound fascinating. History going back to ancient Greece, together with modern science.
@philipbrewer Ooo, thanks for the link. I will give it a listen, I enjoy a good history based podcast.
