At the end of my client's rather intense workout this morning I told him it was time for 5 minutes on his Precor elliptical trainer.
He said to me in a smart-assed sarcastic way "I suppose you expect me to do a minute each at levels 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20". (20 is as high as it goes)
Well, that's not what I had in mind, but since he brought it up, I said "good idea....let's get going"
He said he would if I would and then the macho ego smack talkin' began and it was ON!
Now, understand that at level 12 it's difficult and by level 16 you're having to sort of throw your weight into it to keep it moving, and level 20 is KILLER!
But, he got on and did it.....and he even added an extra minute at level 20.....I was impressed....but then it was my turn dammit, and after doing it myself, and adding another extra minute at level 20, I was even more impressed that he did it.
Kudos to RM! Of course, now that I know he can do it, there will be more to come. When will they ever learn to not get smart-assed and sarcastic with me?
Afterward, in the afternoon heat, I headed out to Lower Table Rock for a good run followed by some yard and garden work.
