I think I&#8217;m very skilled in the art of procrastination. I&#8217;m good at finding excuses not to go to the gym or for a run. It could be the self righteous feeling that I deserve a lie in, or not being able to find my leggings &#8211; the leggings I NEED to be able to run&#8230;. You get the idea.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I&#8217;d love to have the support that I think personal training can offer.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What to expect at\u00a0your first session? <\/strong>Kerry took me through a whole load of health and fitness questions! The first session of PT is assessment based &#8211; so we looked at where I am with my fitness now, my past and what I want to achieve in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Kerry was great &#8211; she&#8217;s really friendly, easy to talk to and helped guide this slightly nervous newbie\u00a0through the process. Instead of a medical assessment this felt like going for a coffee with a friend &#8211; albeit without coffee and where you just talk about yourself!<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s going to set me up with a training programme, and at next week&#8217;s session the training truly begins!<\/p>\n<p>For more information and bookings contact:\u00a0<strong>personaltraining@canterbury.ac.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anna Woolhouse<br \/>\nCustomer Service Advisor<br \/>\nChrist Church Sport<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACTIVE FUN TIP: Ask an expert.
