Okay, I'm going to come at this from another angle...the squishy belly that is.
I've decided that the reason I am having upper/lower back issues is because I have no idea if I'm doing my exercises properly. Back in Nov I started doing crunches, arm exercises, and baby-lifting (as exercise) along with walking for 30 minutes daily. For a while there I was doing well and feeling better than I had in a long time.
About 3 weeks ago I woke up with severe throbbing pain in my neck/upper back/shoulder and lower back. I saw my doc and still seeing a chiro. Am doing much better but still experience some pain. Can't completely heal hefting my two angels (30 pounds each) around all day. To help, DH has been doing a lot of the hefting when home. I just really want to get stronger and fit.
Anway, VLSS, I think I want to try a personal trainer. I know nothing about personal trainers other than they come to your house and guide you through exercises. Does anyone have experience on the subject? My Bday is coming up and I thought it would be nice to get as a gift. At least 6-10 sessions just to get me going...even 2 would be appreciated. I think it'll be motivating.
Help?
