He gave me a one week plan and this is how it all went down....

Monday I did my usual Kickboxing (1hr) class at the gym.

Tuesday I did that 30 min session with the personal trainer.
He made me focus more on my core muscles as appose to just cardio and free weights. You really can see and feel a difference working out with a personal trainer.

Wednesday I did a executive boxing class (1hr).

OHH AM I SORE TODAY!!!!!!

Tonight im suppose to go back and do another 30 min session. Im going to try and take it easy for most of the day and see how I feel.

Interesting fact i learned. When you do cardio your body will burn fat up to 11 hours after you work out. When you do core weight training it will burn fat up to 36 hours after your workout!

Just wanted to share with everyone. Some of you might say that kickboxing and boxing is to much of a workout and you cant do it. But come on give me a break. If a once 356 lbs guy that can barely walk up a flight of stairs can do it. Im sure you can! you just have to push your self!!

Oh - I love that class. I was so riled up after my first one, I threatened to kick John's ass.

You are doing GREAT - keep it up! I don't know how I would have made it as far as I have without the gym. It is my sanctuary!!
