Some of you may have heard that I was training the famous/infamous Gina Barberi from The Radio From Hell Show on X96 for the past couple of weeks and what follows are things that may not have made it across the radio waves of good ol' Utah. IT WAS SO FREAKING FUN!! Being in the studio was a bit challenging, there was an occasional cafe-mocha-late-frapee-vanilla-tchai-thinga-majigga spillage that I still swear was a Complete accident...even though it was probably better spent on the ground...muuhaahahaa (my maniacal laugh). But even though it was challenging with the space it was so amazing to be in there during the show and see what goes on behind the scenes. Being in the studio was not the only fun part GINA is an awesome Woman and anything but average.
This journey began when I heard Kerry and Bill harassing Gina about not having time to workout and that she wouldn't do it even if she had the times so Gina began walking a mile each day during the show and I was proud of her for taking the initiative and volunteered to help. After some quick communication we met and decided we would workout for 20mins 3 times a week during the show to help her feel more confident in a swimming suit for the Mexico Trip the RFH show has coming up.
So it began we got rockin with resistance bands, free weights, the step, mats, and whatever else we could find and something started to happen...well yes there was sweating and grunting but that's not what I was eluding to. Kerry started asking questions about training, Bill actually did some Jumping Jacks with us and in their own sarcastic ways Bill and Kerry were almost supportive of Gina BUT beyond that Gina worked her butt of and dropped 3 lbs!!! I was so proud of her because she had made some dietary changes, worked her butt off during the workouts, and SUCCEEDED! If you break down the time compared to the weight it shows that for every hour of exercise that Gina and I did in the studio she lost 1 lb! How many people can pull that off?? I told Gina that it was because of her efforts and her changes that this happened and that she deserves all the props and it is TRUE. The hammer may beat the crap out of the nail but it's the nail that keeps the house upright.
I'm sad that due to some unforeseen complications I will be unable to train Gina for an undetermined duration of time...Gina and I are both saddened by this but have hopes that it will be short lived so that we can get back to work. I think what happened sucks but at the same time I'm not upset in any way shape or form with anyone from RFH, Kerry, Bill and Gina are the BEST RADIO SHOW IN UTAH and I will continue listening every morning with the iPhone app during my morning commute.
It has been a rockin awesome experience and I hope it will continue soon but until then always remember, "Stick your butt out ... Grunt if you need to!?!"
