It went pretty well actually, so your opinion would probably be "okay!". My original program was 3xcardio machines, press the Quick Start button and do 15 minutes. Very, very tedious.

I discussed my new goal (backpacking), history (weak back joints), and availability for exercise (loads of time until mid-September) and my new program is 3x10minutes on treadmill, cross-trainer, and reclining bike using hill programs and speed intervals, then some upper body weights, abs and leg presses with my mighty thews. The trainer monitored my level of exertion, gave me a less stressful back extension exercise on a ball, and gave me some handy tips on remembering to breathe when I got a bit dizzy! (The embarrassing thing was I got the dizzy spell when "overdoing" things on the shoulder press. With all of 2.5kg weight. "We'll need to do a bit of work on that," he said. I am such a gurrrl.)

It's a lot more interesting than the previous program, and I left feeling full of energy (which is nice). Should see results in a month or so.

That all sounds pretty good, so you were quite right! Does sound more interesting (god, your previous programme sounds deathly dull!). Initial results should be pretty quick - after all, you're already noticing the increased energy.

Best of luck with it all, and let us know how it's going!
