It's my upper body that needs most of the work anyway since, due to the way I walk, everything below the knee is a lost cause and my thighs and backside are made of cast iron anyway :) Just need to get rid of the flab on top of the muscle.Tasha Duncan-Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591239019422681163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-58028627169668490192015-04-22T08:56:49.835+01:002015-04-22T08:56:49.835+01:00Ah, James is happy to come up with a program I can...Ah, James is happy to come up with a program I can do every day and meet with him once a week :) Some of them do seem to be all about the cash though - or just have their clients sitting on a bike or on a running machine their whole session, which isn't exactly hard to do on your own is it? James seems to be very good at finding interesting circuits to do.<br /><br />Sounds like you were a good instructor :).<br />Thank you.Tasha Duncan-Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591239019422681163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-71518427833862421682015-04-22T08:53:12.804+01:002015-04-22T08:53:12.804+01:00I can definitely feel the muscles, but I can still...I can definitely feel the muscles, but I can still walk, which is nice :) There have been a couple of times where Rob has over done it and can barely move the next day (I think it's a man thing - having to push too hard every now and then ;)).Tasha Duncan-Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591239019422681163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918688759465977896.post-14741993189115691342015-04-22T08:52:04.541+01:002015-04-22T08:52:04.541+01:00So far so good, thank you and I don't even ach...So far so good, thank you and I don't even ache hideously this morning - I'm amazed.

Often the students themselves came up with their own, and I loved that! A good trainer or teacher will work with you where you are.
