10 Things I Learned While Training To Be A Trainer

1. Training to be a personal trainer requires more athletic stamina than actually training does.
2. I really am not 25 anymore, as I frequently pretend to be.
3. There are some challenges one can face where espresso is really not your friend (my heart
rate jumped to nearly 200 today).
4. God really does have a sense of humor (For today I was reminded that I actually prayed for
this).
5. Contrary to my longstanding opinion, there are actually situations in which exercise
really doesn't make you feel "good".
6. Personal Training is really more about sales than about training, (ironically the one job I have
intentionally avoided my whole life).
7. I'm tired
8. I'm sore
9. I may be dehydrated
10. I LOVE MY JOB!!!!

Kerrie, very insightful. I now know that I should never be a personal trainer :)

PS-I've always believed number 5. Exercise does not make you feel good.

Number 5 is something I've based my whole life on. I'm so gald we have that in common, Kerrie!
