Personal Training. Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the number 70.

Hello All!

I am finally back online after Sandy! The week felt like a month without internet, and I imagine it is feeling more like years to those still without power or worse :(  Evolution Fitness is still opening their doors to everyone, members and non, if you need to recharge or get a hot shower! And Hamptons Mouthpiece, various churches, and other generous people have been collecting donations for everyone in need. I cleaned out a good trash bag full of warm clothes and 4 other bags full of blankets and toiletries from my house and got it to Riverhead today. I still wish there was more that I could be doing! If anyone needs anything please don't hesitate to ask :)

As for my training, my internet may have been down but my drive was most certainly not! Let's take it back to my first personal training date- 

Wednesday October 24!!

We started with an "easy" 70 squats with just body weight. My jaw dropped, "70!?" Jason smiled, laughed and said, "Yea, nothing too crazy!" I was hoping I had misheard him and he was really trying to say 17...but alas!

So squat I did, and as soon as I was finished he handed me a 9 pound body bar and told me to do some squats, say 70? 

And so it went until I had done not just 70, not 140, but 280 squats!!!! And you know what? I DID IT! I didn't think I could do 20, and here I was finishing my 280th. Not to mention 4 sets of 35 EvoFit push ups! (All the way to the ground, lift hands, then push up)

And boy did I feel it the next few days! 

Thursday October 25

No personal training today, I recovered and led a 4 hour long dance rehearsal for 9 to 5!!! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to tap dance, but once I warmed up I was tapping better than ever :)

Friday October 26

Boy if I thought that 280 squats was a feat, Jason thought it was was just the beginning! 560 squats, 3 sets of 70 light bench presses, and some swings later I was dripping sweat like someone poured a water bottle on my head. 

Gross! But not as gross as that evening when I got MY HAND CUT OFF!!!!

Me playing "The Girl With No Hands" at the Mulford Farm Haunt this Halloween!

It was such a fun experience working at Mulford Farm with Kate Mueth and Josh Gladstone!! I was honored to be asked and had an absolute blast with everyone :) Especially freaking people out by squirting them with my "blood"!!!

Saturday October 27

Another recovery day! But spent the evening scaring families at Mulford Farm!
