Thanks everyone, I had my first session today and really enjoyed it. I really love my trainer- he is real and experienced. I love that he incorporates boxing into the sessions. I love getting that extra stress out into the my punches. Sweated crazy and felt awesome. I will be doing this until February. So looking forward to it. And it excites me to see how I progress.

Everyone is looking good!!! I try really hard to get on here everyday but its hard and by the time I do theres a ton of post and I can't catch up.... Well for me this week has been a little slow but I did sign up with a personal trainer at my gym this week and have been doing a bit more strength training and circuits so it is really hard to even put that into miles. Today I did do 2 miles on elliptical and treadmill. So total is 36 miles , I would like to be to 50 by next week this time. I can do it!!! Everyone keep up the great work!! This group is an inspiration to me and has really motivated me to be the best I can be!!!!

It's not too early. I think a trainer is a great idea for someone who is fairly new to working out. There are several things you should think about for the future.
First, make sure that you like the trainer and that you are comfortable with what they want you to do. If not, switch to another trainer.
Secondly, think about what you want from a trainer. There are two major approaches: The first approach is to have a trainer show you what to do, then once you learn, do the exercises on your own. They can show you how to use the machines or free weights safely, what types of exercises to do, how many reps and sets, etc. Once they have shown you that, you can continue to do the exercises on your own, and every so often get a training session just to advance your knowledge and technique. The other approach is to have the trainer do all the above things, then continue to have them work out with you on an ongoing basis. That way they can help motivate you and be almost like a paid workout buddy. You should decide which of those approaches will work best for you. Do not let the trainer steer you in making that decision.
Finally keep looking at the benefits that you are getting out of the training. If it ever gets to the point that you feel like your trainer is complacent, or is just not really making a difference, then it's time to move on to someone else. Do not let them pressure you about buying training sessions that you don't want, or about anything that involves spending your money.

Forced myself out to walk 1.5 miles today. Hurting but hey, I'm now to 36.2 miles.

Ok 10 more down today
63 total to date...

yea, Insanity workout really fits the name of the program. It very intense, but that's how you know it's working...so far so good.
Hope you get well soon and you can continue your workout regiment.

Added 9.1 miles over the last two days - biking and walking, total 82.45.

After my 4 mile walk yesterday, I am at 58.7 miles. I'll definitely reach my 125 mile goal for this month! Everyone is doing so well...I'm very impressed by everyone. Such a great group of people!

Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I have checked in. I haven't been as active as I hoped but getting in some exercise. Work is the main culprit, followed by watching my favorite baseball team in the NLCS, and getting ready for surgery in 9 days. I am at 32.4 miles. I hope to hit 50 before surgery.
Have a great day and keep moving.

Well...BEWARE the IDES of MARCH....I mean October, because I've hit 83 miles!!!! I have no doubt that I'll surpass my goal of 150 by the end of the month! I'm so excited!
Now everybody get off your arses and lets kick October between the legs!!! ( okay.... I just finished lifting... I'm still pumped... Hehehe)

Hey everyone , had a few off days but got back on the saddle today. 5 miles today putting me at 34 miles for the month!

I have signed up for a personal trainer I am 3 months post op an have lost 41 lbs. Am I starting this too early? Should I wait until I've lost some more? I already have some sagging skin and I want to try and tone those areas now so to hopefully eliminate too much sag! I have been working out consistently since surgery I am up to 6 days a week at least 30 mins a day all cardio and wanted to add a bit of variety an get strength and flexibility workouts in too!! Any suggestions or advise welcome!!!!
