Initial assessment with my trainer

It has been quite a while since I have thought about posting. I guess it's time...

I met with a personal trainer yesterday to go through the fitness assessment process in order to begin working with said trainer. (I went through this process 7 years ago and began working with a bubbly irritating gal, in a nut shell she wasn't the right trainer for me.) All of my information was still in the system so we were able to compare where I was then with where I am now. I was happy with some of my results yesterday but some not so much. My resting heart rate (which was 59 down from 79 in 2002) and Aerobic Fitness have greatly improved as well as my body fat %. I have lost a considerable amount of strength and flexiness but the thing that is the most worrisome is not my probable pre-diabetic state, it was my blood pressure. Normally I have always had pretty good blood pressure but yesterday I was at 173 over 110! I guess it really is time to get serious about getting into better shape before I have a heart attack.

So about this trainer... I don't really care for her. She seems very green and I'm not really in the mood to be someones "first" She has already said that she is a very chatty person, that has me concerned. My last trainer was VERY CHATTY so much so that she wasn't doing her job as far as I was concerned. Working with a trainer is supposed to help motivate not irritate. She talked so much that she wouldn't pay attention to my reps or anything like that. It ended up being easier for me to work out without her. There is a problem when she isn't keeping track of reps and I can't count for myself because she is too talkative! Hopefully this new trainer isn't as bad as the last one.
