Session #4 of my workouts with Igor was tough! I learned that this human body is amazing, and that it is built to adapt and to survive! (to survive Igor's workouts even!)
I went to the workout dreading the hanging knee lifts because last time I did them, on Tuesday, I could only do 5 and then I had to rest. Horrified that I was so bad at them, I hoped not to embarrass myself again and do worse. Guess how many I did today before I had to rest....no not 6, not 7, but 10!!!! I was shocked! Yes, I know a good writer is not supposed to use multiple exclamation marks. Can you blame me? I took a peek at the scale! It's looking good!
The other thing I am getting besides fitness training is Russian lessons.
I learned to say "Thank you " in Russian...so every time he handed me a 10 pound dumbbell, I said, "Cпасибо".
More interesting facts about my trip tomorrow...
Life is an adventure. To make my journey as fulfilling as it can be I have partnered up with some experts in fitness and nutrition and hope to share some useful and practical tips with you. And trust me, this journey will not be a theoretical one. I will be right there in the thick of it. Struggles and all.
