I fear that I am now a middle aged white yuppie, or rather dink (double income, no kids). I just hired a personal trainer for 2 days a week. The ultimate goal is to get my back in shape and stop these migranes from happening (I haven't had one in 2008, so that's something!). He's grabbed me (almost literally) and given me free time a couple times and at least talks a good game, and seems to know what he's doing, so I'm trying it. I've tried regular doctors and chiropractors and acupuncture and nothing really worked. And in a month or two I hope I can learn enough and get myself into a routine to keep myself in shape.
I also have weird neck things that happen. And I need to get myself in shape for skiing. How's that for an agenda for someone for two days a week? Whew. My goal is NOT to look like an American Gladiator, though quite honestly, if I had that goal I could look like one of those Amazon women since my body responds pretty well to muscle growth, but that's just not my goal (and besides it would take a LONG time, and my shoulders are already way broad, my calves really cows, and my upper arms bigger than most what with my Polish background, climbing and all that mountain lion wrestling).
OK, want a little laugh? Google 'muscles photo' and look at the third photo in the row that comes up - I would have posted it but don't want an X rating. The one I attached here was the first photo that came up. Of course, Heather has no such qualms.

lmao! love it. gotta go post it.
you didn't think i'd post it did you? :-)
I thought you were just going to copy the link.
It's very educational of you though. Good pubic service.
Good luck. I don't know how I'd do with a personal trainer. I might treat them like I did my track coaches in high school - with rolled eyes and mild resentment.
Hm, well, I didn't have any sports coaches in high school so I can't compare. I really do think he knows his stuff, so I'm listening and doing what he says. My biggest problem that if it gets too difficult I tend to exclaim 'fuck me'. Which I did today. And made sure to comment that it was just an expression and not a command.
lol, i love that! "just an expression and not a command" i'm gonna steal that for my own use.
i don't know what qualms are, heard of them but don't seem to have any. where can i find them?
Heather, I'm sad you didn't notice my intentional misspelling of public. But happy you found the other comment useful! As for qualms, well, in some dictionaries they don't exist.
