I love my trainer, Nilendra! He's funny, pushes me, and gets excited when I get excited!
He always makes me walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes to "warm up" which I think is stupid since I walk 20 minutes to get the gym!! but he wanted me to do 15 min every time, but I negotiated to 5. He came RUNNING up to me yesterday. He missed me! mostly because I am an excellent client and always show up (unless I am puking). We play a flat fee for a year for the trainer, but my friend has a theory that the trainer only gets paid if we show up because we always have to sign their trainer book when we work out with them. So if you are lazy and don't go, they don't get paid. So he is happy that I show up when I say I am.
He went easy on me - only 60 squats! usually I do between 120-150 with him. He didn't make me run sprints either!! Good first day!
He has a friend that is a dietician and is getting further training and is studying athletes so he is interviewing his clients that are athletes. So I had to tell him what I eat during training and what I eat when I'm not training. You should have heard me try to explain what a pretzel is!! (I've only seen them in one store in India - they aren't common) We were going through what I eat on a normal day. It all sounds good -
dahi (or oatmeal) with fruit and honey
apple or nuts for a snack
rice (or pasta) with chicken and vegetables
granola bar
rice (or pasta) with chicken and vegetables
When he got done writing it I said - oh and chocolate cake (or candy bar, or cookies) . He said lunch or dinner? I said "both!" He asked "how often?" I said every day!! He cracked up laughing. He said his friend was going to show the answers to her instructor and revise the plan and give feedback. I frowned and said "she's going to say no chocolate cake" and he said "no, she's a friend of mine. I'll tell her that the chocolate cake is a must" ha!! this is why I love Nilendra!
