Playful Trainers

The past two weeks, Kevin has been in quite a mood. He has been hyper to the point of being bouncy. 

Last week, as I came out of the locker room, he comes up to me all excited and says, "We are working outside today!" We head out to the basketball court. As he hits the door leading out he looks over his shoulder at me (with a mischievous grin) and says, "I already have all the toys out here waiting for you." Me (sarcastically), "GREAT!" Heavy boxing bag, dumbbells, swiss ball, JUMP ROPE....sigh. He had too much fun torturing me - various weighted walking lunges, pushing the heavy bag all over the court, and chest presses and flys while balancing w/ the ball under my shoulder. He only taunted me with the jump rope, using it himself while I was doing the presses on the ball. And I can't forget the boxing. The boxing is always my favorite part. 

Monday, he caught me coming out of AOS. He was apparently in the mood to play. He grabbed me, and we worked out side by side for about 20 minutes. Half that time was spent with me playing trainer and him playing client.  I "taught" him how to do loop lunges to plank to push up and back up. Then he had me "teach" him how to do vintage swings with a dumbbell. He drug out 2 BOSU's and we just played.

Thursday, he gave me what he called a "meathead workout". We were in the free weight room. He was almost giddy as he was loading the weights on the bars. Dead lifts, chest presses, shoulder presses, rows with as much weight as I could handle. He drug out a step and had me jumping across it, jumping on it (landing on only one foot)...sigh..BOUNCY! More BOSU work and weighted work on the ball. And of course the boxing. He has been increasing the length of my combos...had me throwing a 24 punch combo. I'm a bit of a show off. We had never boxed int the free weight area before. It is close to the front desk, very visible area of the gym.  While I was focused on Kevin, I still could see people in my peripheral vision, watching. It was a lot of fun.

I tell you all this to say this: I can move today (2 days later), but I don't really want to. I am Brainwashed&Broken, it is too late for me, but it may not be for you. If your trainer is ever in a playful mood, RUN!
