BootCamp, Personal Trainer

Have any one of you tried like a boot camp, or a personal trainer to whip yourselves into shape?  I am considering, but at the same time, I do not want to shell out hundreds of dollars... any insight?

I've found having a personal trainer to be a GREAT investment.  I worked with one for over a year - from 2 months out of surgery 8/06 to this past Dec '07 when I went back to work (I had been an at-home mom previously).  After a few months on my own because my previous trainer only had hours during the weekday, I just hooked up with a new trainer because I missed working with someone so much!   I would HIGHLY recommend it!

Not personally :(    I have fibromyalgia and I would end up in the hospital.  boo hoo. However, my DIL has been working out with a PT for 2 months and the change in her body is unbelievable.   Her arms are defined, thighs are awesome, etc.  How I wish I could join here.  IMHO, it would be worth every cent!! Good Luck and post pics! Cindy

Hi, Cindy, I had been told that  I have a mild form of fibromyalgia in my left arm.  I work out with mild weights 3X weekly and find that stretching the muscles in  that arm really helps the pain.  It really seems to alleviate the pain. Just thought you might like a little info from a fellow sufferer. Good luck!

Thanks Lynn, Not many would understand.  You are lucky.  My pain is widespread and incessant.  Will be starting on heavy duty drugs soon, been putting that off for years, but my quality of life right now sucks.  So, better to give it a try, just might help. Cindy

Best thing I ever did!  Worth every penny...if you can afford it...DO IT!

I worked out on my own for a while and got into decent shape (or so I thought).  About 4 months ago, I started working with a personal trainer.  WHOA!  He whipped me into shape.  I believe it was money well invested.  I can't wait to see what I look like after plastics.  I WANT A 6-PACK!

Thanks you guys!  now the hard part is looking for one... and a decently priced one LOL

Quick piece of advice ... find one you don't mind looking at or touching you.  My trainer has to touch a lot to "correcy my form".  Young and cute is a good place to start.  hehehe

That would make me MORE nervous!  I prefer a gay male or a female LOL REALLY, i DO!
