Good Tuesday workout with the PT. Although if I say sessions are v.good, it does raise the bar to aspire to excellence. It was though v.good. He played a selection of boys music - Painkiller etc. Included a hard track 7 that required not sitting for the whole track. Haven't done one of those for awhile. A very long time. I did want to slap him when I was about to sit down, and he said something like "if you sit down now your a loser". Still, it worked.
I love it when the sweat drips off the nose, and off my face - it's sort of a measurement I'm pushing myself. That happened today hard core, although actually I'm not sure if it was in part to where I was seated getting less of the air conditioning. Anyhow, its good when it happens whatever the cause.
Seated in seat 24 I could see more clearly the definition of the PTs legs. When he was stretching I could see this line/vein totally defined down his calve. Now you don't get the definition he has in his calves and biceps solely by RPM. That's what I aspire to - not to look like the PT, because hello he is a boy/man! But have that definition in the arms and legs - not like he has, because hello he is a boy/man, but to have "definition" where the mucles ripple, becasue they are well exercise and pumped.
It's a different look from say the purist "Godfather" true cyclist "look"
I should of course be "modelling" my aspirations on the female instructors...and yes, I do want to be "leaner, meaner, and stronger" and tanned, but I also want that definition.
Not really sure why I'm commenting on this, other than I was quite impressed with the definition in the PTs legs. Also, I supposed it sort of helps to remind myself I need to "picture" how it would mean to look, or how I would like to physically look at my ideal weight.
Then having done that, if I want "pumped" arms, and I do, I need to get back to working out in the weights are with my old gym buddy Lockwood Smith. (we aren't really gym buddy's - we do though have similar tastes in weight machines. And I think we have a mutual repsect for each other, from the distance of one weight machine to another.
If I looked like Hilary Swank, yeah then I'd be happy. Or maybe happy just to look like the real me.
