Politely put....are you trying to kill me?

In my effort to shed those unsightly pounds I spoke of last time I was venting, I took advantage of my place in Spa Lady system, and took an appointment with a personal trainer.
This is not an old fashioned Spa Lady PT.  SInce we have been bought out by World Health, we now have PT's of a much more serious and scary nature.  Women who could only best be described as "scarier then me".  These are not "pretty little gym bunnies" These are serious professional athletes who have turned a sado-masochistic lifestyle into serious profit.

So for those of you who read this... this is not a workout that any of you would ever, or *should* ever, probably follow.  This is a workout tailored to me.  And its not for beginners, or the inexperienced with any kind of weights.  Its not quite as hardcore though, as the one my boss does, either.  But, shes not bearing the label of "just returning" either.

We very quickly located my weakest areas.  Which, oddly enough, are my thighs.  Usualy the strongest muscle group, and definitely the largest muscle group on a person, the thighs and ass - allright *my* thighs and ass are actually quite weak, from years of sitting.  This, coupled with the rather ironical fact that I *havent* put on a lot of weight, means that muscles there have rather atrophied, and need - extensive work.  So I have been given the plan that follows.  It *is* a full body workout - but does strongly focus on thighs and butt.

1) cable weights.  attach a double ended rope to pully system.  stand in close, and pull down to hip level from about face lvl.  at the bottom, twist wrist, deeping the pull.  works deltiod muscles more deeply.  Pully appx 50 pounds.  15 - 20 reps.
2) cable weights. attach an ankle strap to a low sitting, 20 pound weight.  Pull out, across the body.  Turn, so you pull in, across the body.  Turn to face machine, so you pull back, keeping your legs straight, careful not to lean in any particular direction. 15-20 reps, per side, per direction.
3) cable weights.  Keeping the low sitting position, sit on ground, feet braced on the machine, legs straight.  Change from ankle strap, to small, comfortable grip.  Sit up straight. Pull in to stomach, squeezing shoulderblades together as hard as possible. (seated row).  Weight is about 50 pounds. 15-20 reps.
4) lunges.  these are called three point lunges.  you do one forward, one to the side (although its really a front diagonal) and one to the back.  again, its 15-20 reps, per side, per point.
5) squats.  Done on the bosu ball - kinda.  you need the soft side up.  so its soft, squishy and rounded.  you put one leg up onto the ball, squat, and then"walk" across the surface of the ball - sideways, so your opposite leg is now up on the ball.  I found a quick hop across a bit easier, without sustained contact with it, but - on bad balance days, walking is just as hard, because then you actually have to balance *on* the soft, rounded surface of the ball.  15-20 reps, per side.
6) Arm curls. Done on that soft, squishy side of the bosu ball.  So yes, you have to balance there, with a ten pound weight in each hand.  Its just a simple, full curl, but when on such an unstable surface, it is much more difficult.  15-20 reps.
7) Kneeling crunches.  This is a new one to me.  You kneel on the ground, with the long two ended rope end attached to the cable weights.  You settle those ends down on your shoulders, and then, straight backed, you crunch in your abs, bending you at the hips.  50 pounds, 20 reps.
8) 3 point sit ups. laying flat on the ground, legs stretched out, and arms over head with a 5 pound medicine ball you move up to sitting in one motion, arms staying overhead with medicine ball. turn to the left, bounce the ball, turn to the right, bounce the ball, lay back down, bringing the ball back overhead. 20 reps.
9) full reverse crunches.  laying flat on ground, bring legs up straight, then lower.20 reps.
10) scissor - laying flat on ground, lift legs about a foot off of ground, legs go out wide, then come in and cross. 20 reps
11) hello dolly - laying flat on ground, lift one leg up and the opposite arm overhead, then switch, not letting the falling leg to touch the ground.  20 reps.
12) superman - lay flat on the ground on your stomach. lift legs, chest, and out-stretch arms.  Hold for a slow 5 count. 10 reps.

All of this sound do-able?  What happens if you have to later rinse repeat - 3 times? the whole thing?
Still sound plausible?
What if I add in cardio bursts?
1 minute between each exercise. These can be most anything I want, but some examples are the ever popular jumping jacks, running in spot, hopping through a ladder on the ground, or my new favorite... putting hands on either side of a bench, going into lunge formation at the end, and then switching legs with a jump.  Your weight is mostly on your arms, and your legs go as fast as you can.  Much fun.

In the effort not to kill myself, Ive decided Im going to break this down into three separate routines. (Hence my ulterior motive for writing it all down) But the effect is the same.
Pain... lots of pain.
cant wait *wg*
