The girl is in love with the number 24…and on top of that she is an excellent counter!

If there are two words to describe Emilee Jones from a trainee perspective it would be…24 and LUNGES.  We do every exercise 24 times, and if it’s not an ab exercise, it is some exercise with lunges incorporated into it somehow.  She had me doing these reverse lunges followed by pulsing lunges and and an overhead shoulder press.  I swear she had lit a match and jammed it into each one of my thighs…BURN, UGH quads on FIRE – but I did it, and cursed a little under my breathe.  She followed with some abs to give my legs a momentary break…by adding a small inflated disc shaped object right under my lower back, she turned simple crunches into torture.  During my second set, I couldn’t do more than two without stopping. It felt like she was punching me in the gut.  When I was done with those…it was back to lunges.  My legs were tired, but when I was done I felt great.  She said something to me when I was warming up, that will stick with me forever…especially when working out and it seems hard and or impossible…She said “don’t under estimate your super powers”.  I love that line, 3 months ago I can admit I was scared to push myself for fear of failing.  Now I accept whatever the trainer challenges me with, and if I don’t get it right the first time, or if it’s so painful I have to stop and regroup so be it.  I just do it again!
