One word for you: Inchworms! Kettle Bells! Ropes! Walking Lunges! Rainbow Presses! Okay, that’s 8 words. But it’s probably because I am too exhausted to count properly. 🙂 I have been working with Melody for about 6 months now, and she has helped me lose approx 80 pounds (out of a goal of losing 240). She pushes me harder than I would go myself, and she makes it fun while we work. Whenever I get to grumbling about how hard something is, she reminds me how far I have come. She always smiles, always encourages, and always knows just when we should stop (for which I am grateful). I can’t imagine my life without that little woman in it.
Still, if I never see that wicked 53-lb kettle bell again, it’ll be too soon! Aww, who am I kidding? I can’t wait until I am ready to move up to a new size. I know just what Mel would say, “Hey, now, remember when the 18-lb bell was too heavy?” And then I would laugh and try to do five more swings because that’s the kind of trainer she is. . .
