Monday I got to the session alittle bit earlier, but I didn't start my hour until my mentor/ trainer got there. When he got there we did something different. He told me I can only work with him for half and hour becasue he had another person after me. So I asked him if i can shadow him and he approved. For 30 minutes he showed me new workouts that he pretty much thought of right away. I asked him to show or explain to me what muscles are being targeted. I felt like I didn't do the workouts correctly and to me thats a fail.
  After my 30 mins workout his trainee came. She was a 45 year old who 6 months ago has a kid and wanted to lose the weight she gained during her pregnancy. So the trainer asked me he was going to go easy because she hasn't been here in the gym for 6 months.  The first workout he made her were squats and sit-ups. I told him why he was going easy on her and he said she her was resting for 6 months that she needs to get used to working out constantly now. He got to do counts the reps she did and also I brought and took back the dumbbells she used to workout her triceps and biceps. He mostly made her work on her stomach like the abs since she wanted to slim down.
Session: 1 hour

The moment I entered the gym my trainer called me over and said it was time to pump some iron. Right away he told me we weren't going to do some boxing, we were going to focus on using mostly free weights and a little bit of machines. To me like I said before I prefer using free weights than machines. He put me through a whole body workout which to me is a very tiring. First work out we focused on lower body, some workouts consisted of squats, leg press, and one legged jump.
We worked on lower body for about 30mins. Next we started to work on the upper body like the chest, abdominals, and back. I prefer to work on upper body rather than the lower because to sweat more, get stronger and I love that feeling when you lift something heavy and then flex... I know that's weird... An hour passed by and now we start working on the arms, shoulders, and a little bit of cardio. For cardio he made me put a 30lbs vest on me and also he tied a rope to my back that had 50lbs. Had to speed walk around the gym 4 times then had to deadlifts which works out mainly your whole body. I was very tired but refused to give up and gave it my best to finish strong. Repeated the circuit 3 times but the last one got to me and I was finished.

First day with my new trainer and I thought he was going to be a harder trainer and it turns out I was right. I warmed up for 5 mintues just so my body will be warmed up and so I wouldn't pull a muslce or anything. After that little warm-up we began to do some cardio. I was alittle bit nervous because my last trainer said he's a little bit more tougher than him. He showed me different ways to workout the human body and of cousre I was the one who had to do all the techniques. The thing I like about my new trainer he doesnt let me rest and keeps telling me I can do it no matter how bad I want to quit. Also we use more free weights rather than the machines because to me using free weights makes me see results faster and according to my trainer you use more muslce movement to do a rep. After the first hour was done I told him if I can shadow him while he's training someone else and he agreed. As I was shadowing him he made me keep the time, had to rerack the weights, count the reps the lady did and as I was helping him I was also learning new things about the excerises he was giving the person. He told me being a trainer is just all about working out and demanding people to do their workouts, but its about motivating them to do good, become a friend to them to encourage them they can do anything they want to achieve and also you have to study the person so you can do the proper workouts.
