Homework

Just back from another early start on the Peak. 

Did the PCP exercises at the top and as a result my legs are grumpy,

my shoulders have thrown a strop, and my abs are not talking to me 

after making them do v-sits again. They'll get over it.
 
On this week's assignment from Patrick's email (checking out a gym), 

I actually went to the gym last weekend as I fancied a change of scenery. 
 
If I'd hoped to see a lot of unfit people there clearly I'd chosen the 

wrong gym - maybe it's only fit people who go on the weekend?
 
It struck me however, that a lot of people continue to rely on personal 

trainers. Nothing wrong with having a personal trainer per se, but it 

seems to me that what they teach is all stuff that we can do ourselves. 

It's become abundantly clear that without getting the diet right we won't 

see any meaningful results - in my experience, personal trainers don't 

put sufficient emphasis on diet. If people use trainers because they provide 

motivation (which used to be my reason) then I find PCP works better (

and cheaper!). 

Can't see myself going back to a trainer. 

We have the tools, knowledge and motivation now.
