Looking for personal trainer

ChrisJHUK · 14-07-2004, 10:47 AM

I am 55, 6'2", and during the past year I have put on weight badly. I guess I have an excuse for that. In the summer of 2004, I had an accident - crushed between two taxis in Tokyo - and I was hospitalised in various places for months, suffering four operations on my legs, and with that some nasty complications, including pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Don't worry, I am not feeling sorry for myself - I am just determined to get back in shape - improved shape even !!! Two days ago, the docs gave me the all-clear to start exercising again. So, I would like to engage a personal trainer to help me on the road back to total fitness. Anyone interested? Rather than use a gym (unless it is a private personal training gym), I would rather set up suitable equipment at home. I have a good budget to do that :-) Home is near Canary Wharf. Anyone interested? Please email me at ChrisJHUK@aol.com putting "personal trainer" in the title. Thanks and best regards to everyone. Chris. P.S. I will keep a photorecord of progress and post the pics, showing my road to the final goal :-)

Wow - That is a story!

Too far away for me to help you but I wish you every luck in getting back into shape.

Good luck with it and don't forget tokeep a journal and pictures!

I am not in a position to help you out sorry, but just wanted to echo marks comments and wish you all the best with your training. Good luck!

Special thanks to you guys, Mark, Simon and Dave, for your very encouraging comments. I really must have a personal trainer, face to face, because I need kicking - regularly

. I will definitely keep a photographic record, but I will avoid posting a picture of the injuries - it would put everyone off their dinner

ops: . Looking forward to hearing from a reliable trainer, with sufficiently large quads to make the kicks hurt. In the meantime, I am off to buy some neat equipment.
