Today I had another session with my client. Since he does chemo on Wednesdays and is usually still recovering by Friday, training sessions on Fridays are light. We started off with a 10 minute warm-up, then went into a 20 minute yoga session. He really enjoyed the yoga, saying that he felt very relaxed once we were done. We then did a 25 minute brisk walk, and stretched after.
While we were stretching, I asked him about his chemo sessions and how he was feeling.
To my surprise, he said he was feeling great. He said that he’s usually not feeling better until Saturday, and, despite this week being a harsher dose of chemo, he felt better by Thursday morning! Although he has only done about a week and a half of sessions, he said working with me has already had a great impact.
Needless to say, this made my day and impacts like this one is why I wanted to be a trainer in the first place.


very, very cool
when I trained I found the people w/whom I volunteered (ones with illnesses who needed training but couldnt pay) were always my fave clients.
definitely part of the reason I stopped training. Id rather work a day job and volunteer my time.
what a great way to see, already, what a difference you are making in someones life!
