linzq- good luck with the trainer. My trainers have made all the difference for me even though at times I have to admit it's a struggle to make myself go in and submit to the session.
In additon, they have been especially helpful, whenever I have ended up taking time off for any reason ( broken ribs 2 x, collapsed lung and masectomy) in helping me ease back into the training while not running amuck and causing further damage or slowing recovery, which Had I done on my own I probably would have pushed myself too hard.
