Well my first day back to personal training after 2 weeks off wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Maybe it was because my trainer and I kept busy talking about each of our vacations. So, it helped take my mind off of the hard parts. We did some interesting new moves, like an abdominal exercise where I held an exercise ball with my right leg and left hand extended in the air, while I lifted and slowly dropped the opposite arm and leg, and vice versa. And we did some of my not-so-favorites, like the crab walk with those fabric disks I have complained about here before. :-)
The exercise of the day was one that worked the abs and the shoulders. Again, using your handy-dandy exercise band, wrap it around something sturdy and support your low back by laying on something. In the pics you'll see I layed on a bosu, but you could easily roll up a big towel for the same purpose. Start with your hands at the sides of your chest, and raise up into a crunch, while doing a chest press with the bands. Release and lower back down to the floor. Do 3 sets of 15.
