I Pick Things Up and Put Them Down
I joined a new gym in the beginning of March and I love it already! They offer so many different services and they have a lot of great equipment to use. I have been working with a personal trainer twice a week for the past 3 weeks. One day a week we do all kinds of machines and on the second day we do exercises in the pool. He is really big on switching up the exercises each time I meet with him, so I don't get bored. Working out with him is definitely not boring. Last week, strapped a weight to the back of my wheelchair and made me do 3 laps. We have been experimenting with a lot of different equipment because some exercises are still tough on my hand. It can be frustrating because I want to push myself, but if I push myself too hard my hand is killing me the next day. I just have to listen to my body and take it easy. There's no sense pushing myself too hard and injuring myself again. My trainer and I connected right away because we both have a disability and we talk about the things that we have gone through growing up. It's nice to work out with another person who understands what it's like to have a disability. I am finally enjoying going to the gym again.
