Entering into the unknown
In less than an hour, I will be going to the local recreation center to get a physical assessment. They will, of course do the obligatory blood pressure, resting heart rate, height, weight, body composition ( OMG), cardiovascular endurance, musculature strengths/weaknesses, flexibility, etc. This is all to gain a baseline. I actually signed up for sessions with a personal trainer. My once diligent morning routine of working out and stretching has withered into curling up on the couch with the dog and a blanket watching X-files at 4 am. I need a push.
The interesting part is that the name of my personal trainer sounds like he stars in porn movies, Hunter Morgan. You honestly can't tell me a mental image doesn't come to mind with a name like that and his "job" as a personal trainer doesn't add. How freaking intimidating. Here I am an over 40 slightly overweight woman coming in for training from a porn star. The rest of the rec center is full of 20 somethings in shorts running around the track or riding the stationary bikes. I can just see it now, my penchance for flatulence will make an appearance at the totally wrong time. *Sigh* I'll be forever banned. My South Park image is more true than some people might believe. I really need to take up yoga.
Would you Rather
Take a bumpy 2 mile ride sitting wedged (feet hangin out) in the main compartment of a small metal shopping cart
OR
Take a 25-mile ride in the empty but rotating bin of a cement truck?
Keep on Go!
