(Sorry my post is late, it's been a busy week - this is from Monday.)
Power + Endurance = Rob Rayford. Rob is the newest trainer at Body-N-Motion. Chris was out sick most of the week and I had the opportunity to work out with Rob.
You’ve probably read my blog abut completing a 30-minute run and making it through a cardio-crazy workout, but Rob has a different take on training. His workouts are designed to enhance your power and endurance.
At first I thought, Ahhh! Enough with the weight lifting! I want to run!
Now I’m sitting here at my desk, and my whole body is sore: legs, back, arms, shoulders … maybe even my face. Ha ha.
Why am I so sore? Because Rob pushed me hard all week long. Nearly all our exercises were 5 sets of 10 reps. I’ve never lifted like that before. Usually it’s power sets or the classic 3 sets of 10. Rob’s version not only included more reps (endurance), it also included more weight (power). That’s right! He would actually add weight as we advanced in our sets.
Don’t get me wrong, I still like the feeling of completing a grueling 30-minute run, but I’m really excited to see the results from this new style of training. Whatever your style, Body-N-Motion has what you’re looking for in a personal trainer.
An Old Italian proverb, “After the game, the king and the pawn go in the same box.”
*Enjoy the week!
