A few weeks ago, I went to a personal trainer so he'd give me exercises for my bulging disk in my lower back. The session was very hard and painful for me. A day later he texted me " How do you feel?" I said that the training was very hard I felt I wanted to stop in the middle of it and go home and I don't know why I didn't do it eventually. He texted a laughing emoji and said "Your body probably knew it was good for it". I didn't find it funny. I'm in pain, it's hard for me to move, I can't hold down a training session, couldn't he have said "I'm really sorry you feel this way. I can try to find you easier exercises" or "I'm sorry, but unfortunately I can't give you easier exercises, maybe you should go the a physiotherapist who can help you, all the best"? Before him, I went to another trainer who couldn't stop telling insulting sarcastic jokes. WTF is wrong with personal trainers? Do they all have their heads stuck in their arses?

Well, yeah.... That's why they are "personal trainers" and "fitness consultants".. because getting a real job requires useful skills.

That guy took no pain no gain way too seriously, if it was me I'd go to someone who studied about my problem instead. Hope you get better 🙏.

My personal trainer did the same before, but that is also how to build muscles. Your supposed to be in pain after training well atleast it will happen sometimes not always. Personally I no longer use one I feel like it toke out alot of the fun of fitness. I had the opportunity for one to make a roster for me but meh. I rather just do my own thing it doesn't have to be perfect anyway. Simply put you break off muscles to make them come back stronger. (edited)

Use a back brace, heat therapy and work on your postures, avoid activities that may aggravate the situation till you're better 😊

Been working out and running for around 2 years. At 44 I’ve never felt better. I was 105kg few years back and never workout. Who’s done the same? And changed their lifestyle for the better?

Leg day, day 2

Day 1 was excruciating. Every step I made made me question my decision why I joined the gym! The day after day 1, after waking up, the first step I made with my right leg from off my bed, sent me crashing down. I kissed my wooden floor. My knees buckled. Goes to say, I dreaded day 2. Day 2, coach... read more
