Confessions of a Couch Potato After working for a year with a good trainer, he relocated to another city. He suggested that I work with Mark. My attitude was I just wanted to keep moving. After a few sessions with Mark, he began to raise the bar. And, I started to sweat and my heart rate went up. After some fumbling and with Mark’s help and encouragement, I met the new challenges. A subtle attitude change was beginning. It was no longer just keep moving but meeting goals. Mark kept me moving forward. He chose each step carefully and showed me the correct technique for performing each exercise. I never had aches or pains. I began to lose weight and the waist band on my jeans was getting bigger. The attitude change continued, I now look forward to working out! While my sister worked out with Mark, I did exercises he showed me that I could to do on my own.
