I’ve gained a new sympathy for the contestants on “The Biggest Loser.”
Tonight, I met with a trainer at the gym. I assumed my free consultation would involve a simple walk through of the equipment.
Not so.
Instead, I was made to do push-ups with a core twist, squats while holding a 32-pound weight, sit-ups while holding a ball above my head, and another exercise that involved stepping onto a large box, raising one knee, doing a bicep curl with 8-pound weights and then pushing the weights above my head before stepping off the box.
The whole experience was deeply humiliating.

Wow -- I wish I had a trainer after reading this. My free consultations always involved a quick introduction to the machines and the obligatory (and inaccurate) body fat measurement. This sounds much more productive!! Though difficult!

The whole thing sounded suspicious when you were describing it via phone beforehand!
