Hey guys, Callie Durbrow here…I just got done an amazing training session so I wanted to share it with everyone. In typical Friday fashion I teamed up with my co-worker Mike for a much needed strength training session. It was about 11 AM, I was tired, hungry as hell, and my lower back was a bit sore. Any or all of these things could have kept me from my training session but I sucked it up and did it. Now I feel great and can’t wait to get some lunch and take a nap!
The moral of the story is two-fold.
1. I like to set a standard for myself that transfers over to my clients. How can I push them to work hard, be the best they can be, improve their fitness, and train when they are tired if I don’t do the same? I always tell my clients that I won’t make them do anything that I would not do. All training sessions are based around principles that I use for myself and that I know will get results. Basically I have to walk the walk instead of just talk the talk.
2. When you are tired, sore, hungry, stressed, whatever…you CAN get through it. There will always be an excuse, a “valid” reason or just plain lack of mo-jo that day. Suck it up, do it, and you will feel so much better in the end.
And just an added tip, notice the training only included 6 exercises. This is efficient and effective. The athletic based movements burned a ton of calories, got my metabolism through the roof, and improved my overall strength and fitness. My attention span isn’t good enough to render me a long workout anyway. Your body doesn’t need it. If you want to get lean and tight this is the way to go. Crank it out!
Here’s the training session we cranked out today:
BB Dead lifts 6 sets of 6- 135, 155, 155, 165, 165, 165 lbs
BB Overhead Press 5 sets of 6- 55 lbs
Bulgarian Split Squats 3 sets of 8- 50 lbs
Banded Chin Ups 2 sets of 8 (my back was SMOKED today)
Standing Ab Pulls 3 sets of 10
Car Pushes 2 sets of 1 circle around the parking lot
