If you ever find yourself checking TikTok during virtual workout classes (🙋♀️), this might be just what you need.
on the whole thing. Binging some terrible reality show was much more appealing than lifting weights or doing yoga. And when I calculated how much time it would take to commute to and from my local barre studio — on top of actually taking a class — I decided I'd rather stay home.
Eventually, I started to feel the effects of getting out of my fitness routine, and I knew something needed to change. Not working out was not an option, but apparently neither was going to a group fitness class or trying to go it alone at home. So I decided to givea try. Unlike virtual classes, working with a trainer one on one eliminates any possibility of checking out midsession or cheating an exercise. And seeing someone virtually allows me to skip the time-sucking commute to a local gym.
Unfortunately, my first session was a bust. My trainer was 10 minutes late and had a hard time logging on. I was disappointed, but my session was refunded so I could try again. Now with lowered expectations, I selected a second trainer, and thankfully, everything went smoothly. I explained to her that what I need is accountability. I described how I"cheat" when working out alone and tend to check my phone when I get bored during a class.
By my third session, the trainer and I were already in a groove. She knew where my strengths lie, and I knew what to expect. In a quick 30-minute session, we were able to zip through some pretty intense exercises and have time for a cooldown.
