Comfortable may have beent he wrong word, I don't know. I'm more comfortable with it than plenty of other girls I see at my gym, thats for sure, and I am getting better. I find it difficult to push myself with strength training the way that I push myself with cardio. It used to be that I'd never feel sore after a strenth training work out. I do know that new evidence says that soreness doesn't necessarily signify that you got the most out of it, but I still think it must have meant that I wasn't doing enough. Then I started pushing harder and got a bit sore. I use fairly heavy weights (for me) and try to get four sets of 12 reps from each muscle. Anyway, I just don't really know if I'm doing the right things the right way, and I bet I could use a personal trainer myself to get me to push out the last few reps sometimes. I'm also pretty sure I could be doing more effective exercises.
As far as wanting to be a personal trainer even though I'm "not comfortable" strength training, I don't think its a problem. As I said in a very verbose way, I'm really just uncomfortable with how little I know (I hate my own ignorance of anything at all, to a fault sometimes). Education and experience will fix that. What I like is being fit and healthy and learning about being fit and healthy, and talking about being fit and healthy. I like to be the one who knows and can educate. I like the idea of having a job that forces me to stay fit and healthy.
There's more but I have to go now...
