A New Me...Step by Step :)

But if someone wants to get an abortion, let them. It’s their choice, their body and they have to live with the decision for the rest of their life. Even if it’s not something you would consider or do. Even if you feel like abortion is murder. Just remember, not everyone feels the same way that you do about things like abortion. That is all.

I agree 100% Abortion isn’t for me, but I wouldn’t DARE attack someone for getting one. 

Normally when I go to the gym I have a set routine as one would say. I do three circuits of certain exercises and go.

Well today I said, “I’m going to squat without the Smith Machine, I can do this.” So I go to squat rack, getting things together and then I go to squat…

FAIL.

I couldn’t get my form down. In the middle of my misery a guy who normally works out at the gym struts in and spoke, then asked if I needed help.

Did I?!?!

He tried to work on form with me and again I began failing miserably. I couldn’t squat without falling. I can do body weight squats fine but with a barbell added, that motion and my body for some reason didn’t agree.

So eventually he recommended the leg press. Now I normally I use the seated leg press machine…I think we’re getting a divorce. That leg press had my ASS and QUADS on fire.

He also recommended some things most of which I already knew with my nutrition, use protein after workout, one with guatamine (I think that’s how it’s spelled), use fish oil it burns fat, watch what you eat, no white bread, white rice etc.

He was cool should definitely be a personal trainer. But the moral of the story is….

Well there is none lol. I’m just going to continue with the Smith Machine and add the leg press. Eventually, when I can get my balance together I’ll try the barbell squat again :)
