A client's response to my workout...

Often people are a little shocked about how they feel after I introduce them to a functional workout, especially if they are used to walking around machines aimlessly or "picking things up and putting them down."  Some won't admit the difference they feel but I received an e-mail from a new client this morning stating his feelings about a workout I introduced him to yesterday and I had to share:

Subject: and i thought you were my friend

all you trainers are masochists. did your daddy yell at you when you were young? what triggered this? hahahahahahahaha

i hurt ALL over. one place i have never hurt before, directly under my armpits, upper rib cage. WTF? 

your science was spot on. i hurt in my weak spots. inner thighs and lower abs.

i think you underestimated my lack of physical fitness mike. im a mess. but i will do your routine at a snails pace until my body tells me to step it up. 

i think this will be the first step of a love affair with functional movement. cant wait to see all the other fun things once i master (i hope) the movements you gave me. 

i cant say i wont miss the feeling up pumping out 80 lbs dumbbells on a bench and the pump you get from that BUT no one will ever ask me how much i lift while on the golf course or while mountain biking or playing tennis ..... so.

thanks mike!!!

Sounds like another believer in functional workouts!
