Have you ever heard Paul say “we need to get some work out of her”? When he says that he is referring to me – and now he is getting some work out of me but in a difference sense. TALK 1300 has paired up with Synergy Fitness and Nutrition and Bryan Nunziato for the “Get Some Workout of Her” 12 Week Fitness Challenge. After having my daughter 3 years ago, I have totally given up on staying in shape. Bryan is going to change that and whip me into shape. I will be having 3 personal training sessions with him a week and working out on my own on the other days. You will be able to follow my progress on this blog, including weekly picture updates.

Today was my first session with Bryan. He is located at the Omni Fitness Center at 54 State Street in Albany. For today, he just asked me a ton of questions to find out where my fitness level currently is. Um…basically non-existent! I even had to tell him the thing most women will never admit – my weight. I had to be so honest that I had to go into the locker room and weigh myself on a real scale. He also asked another question I usually, well don’t tell the truth about – my height. I had to admit that I haven’t hit 5 foot (I am 4’11) and I couldn’t even stand on the molding like I do at the doctor’s office. The reason these things are so important is because Brian is going to create a training plan just for me, that will include a personal workout plan and nutritional guidelines.

Even though there was no “official” workout plan, I did do 40 minutes on the elliptical machine and I definitely had jelly legs afterwards.

But it is going to be worth it, I am finally going to get myself in shape and feel good about myself. I am very pumped and motivated.

I meet with Bryan again first thing Monday morning, and I will update you on that. Please visit Bryan’s site at www.gotosynergyfitness.com  and also let me know how you think I am doing or if you have any good advice.

Week 1 pictures are below…

I hope Brian knows what he has gotten himself into...

This is just scary...
