My personal trainer says...
Wait a minute, I gotta interrupt this broadcast here. What's with that phrase "my personal trainer?" When did I get one of those? I feel like "personal trainer" is a phrase that should go with one of those urban mercenaries who wears sneakers with a business skirt, goes to the gym religiously at 4:30 am every morning, bleaches her hair at a salon, and whose daily life will never require her to lift anything heavier than a goldplated pen. She's divorced. She has a dog, but someone else walks him. She goes to the gym because she doesn't do anything FUN that provides exercise. No one has ever seen her smile - at least not sincerely.
Some day I will write this character into a novel. Her big moment will be letting her feelings out in a huge freeing catharsis.
ANYway...
He says the cardio stuff and the weight routine are indeed to be done on the same day. They are both short enough that if done back-to-back they won't take much more than an hour. I can skip a day of each, so on the day I do the 45-minute run I don't have to tack on weights. (Darn, I was hoping to alternate weights and cardio and spend that much less time. Sigh. TANSTAAFL!)
