I have been training and racing in sprint triathlons for 2 years now. I'm getting faster and stronger. But the one thing that I HATE to do is weights... any type of sculpting or free weights or machines... and don't get me started on my core, or COMPLETE LACK thereof!
I took my first TRX training class (small group/personal training) at my YMCA (Palomar YMCA) on Tuesday. It is an intense 45-minute workout that hits all of your body groups and keeps you at a high cardio workout at the same time. Soooooo... I THOUGHT that I was in OK shape... I THOUGHT I would be able to make it through 45 minutes... and I was SADLY mistaken. As trainer, Roland, told me, "TRX is a very humbling workout. It will very bluntly show you where your strengths and weaknesses are." Can I just say, I was already at failure and shaking after the first 4 minute set...
So, once I can walk again (which I am hoping will be tomorrow or Saturday), I will be taking my next TRX class. Then the next. And the next. I know that TRX will help focus my training and take me to the next level for my racing...and weight loss... and fitness! I think I may have finally found a type of weight training that I can stick to... Lord, help me! :-)
