Melissa's Training with Equinox: 3rd Session

This was my toughest workout by far with my trainer! It is starting to be rewarding. I've lost 5 lbs. since I have started! For this session on February 20th, we ended up working out on the 3rd floor. It was a little intimidating at first because that is where men are lifting weights. Thankfully, there aren't as many people working out at 1 p.m., so my focus could stay on the hard workout at hand. It started out with lunges by way of a step - very hard, especially after doing several. This workout consisted of lots of lunges, including walking lunges with free weights and lots of repetition. I must have done this six times and by the last set, wasn't able to feel my legs. Since we were on the 3rd floor, my trainer had me do an exercise that made use of their stairs. I had to run down the stairs and then back up, skipping every other step on the way back up. Since the training was more intense, I was able to rest for about a minute between intervals. We also worked this time on arms with exercises like the lap pull down, rowing and lateral pulls. After this workout, I was sore for another two days, so Traci is really doing her job, and I can't wait to continue on my quest for losing weight and toning up.
