Meet My Trainer

So according to Get Your Sh*t Together Sunday, I needed to run 2 miles and get in a NTC workout. Done and done. This was my first run in almost 2 weeks and boy could I tell. Crazy to think that I ran 13.1 miles almost a month ago. Geez.

I ran on the treadmill because the wind is blowing like crazy outside and for whatever reason it hurts my ears (am I crazy or does this happen to you too?). I put the incline on 1% and did 2 slow miles in 21:55. I've got 1 more chance to break 30 minutes in my 5k time this year (Turket Trot) and I plan to do it.

I did a strength training session with NTC, and once again, I loved it. So did my trainer:

I'm not really sure what is creepier, the way he's looking at me or the way my big head is taking up the whole screen. I'm pretty sure I win and the only reason he was looking at me like that was because I was farting around with my phone instead of doing my superman lifts... He's such a hard@ss trainer!

Happy Monday!!

Nike Training Club... And my Go Girl Vortex Shirt

In an attempt to snap out of my workout funk, I finally tried something that I've been wanting to do for awhile... Enter Nike Training Club.

Have you all seen/used this? I downloaded it to my phone about 3 months ago but never got around to using it. We got an iPad about a month ago and I once again dowloaded it (it's free, I very rarely pay for apps) but hadn't used it. Well last night I decided to change that, and let me just tell you... It kicked my trash.

So first you pick what your goal for the workout is. You can choose from lean, toned, strong, or focused. Then you choose a level:

I chose lean, beginner, then hit start. Then the trainer proceeded to take me through an awesome 30 minute workout. The workout included my two most hated moves (burpees and mountain climbers) but it had lots of things I hadn't tried before. If it pops up something that you don't know, you just pause it, and watch the video. It shows you exactly what you need to be doing.

Honestly it worked me harder than several personal trainer sessions I've paid for in the past. And I am so freaking sore today. I will definitely be using this gem more often. Plus it gives you rewards as you accumulate minutes and I love silly rewards.

Okay second thing, I wore my Go Girl Vortex shirt for this workout. The shirt is super comfortable, and I was surprised but it's actually see through in some parts.

I think I will appreciate this venting come summer time heat wave. It's a great workout shirt. It fits well and I LOVE the fabric. Of course it rode up while I was doing mountain climbers, which is annoying, but I have yet to find a shirt that doesn't (so it just goes back to how MC's are stupid in the first place). I think the design is awesome and really love the logo on the back.

You're welcome for the high quality pics as always. And turns out I didn't need to shower to show you the shirt!
