first meeting with a fitness trainer today.

 

her name is Tal, she's Israeli, and she has a good way about her.

 

she is *also* a dancer, and I love that she gets that part of me.

 

*philosophically *
she is TOTALLY going to kick my ass.
My ass needs it, my muscle tone and core strength are nowhere near where I need them to be, never mind my cardio fitness.

 

but though I know she was totally going easy on the fat chick, we both understand there needs to be a balance between pushing to improve my conditioning, and keeping it fun.

 

I got stuff to DO! time for the machine to get tuned the hell UP.

Does she know Krav? 'cause I think that might be the fight style that speaks to my love of efficient brutality.

she may. I have no interest in it though.

What I will someday be interested in, is being able to throw myself to the ground in fun ways: tumbling, rolling, handstands.
this is part of the dream.

Oh, I meant for me. I need to learn.

Good luck! I'd like to be able to do something like that as well.

I am blessed and lucky to have time energy and resources to spend on improving my health. I hope to share some of my luck more often...

What are her rates? I have been thinking of hiring a personal trainer...

I don't know if she hires out outside of the JCC, but I gather she's very new in-country, <1 month, and is likely looking to build a clientele. the rates for all the trainers are up on the Palo Alto JCC website. =)

Well, I've been thinking of joining the JCC... that's the one on San Antonio Rd?

I don't see her listed on their website here, does she have a different longer name?

she's brand-spanking new. They may not yet have added her to the roster.
