Here'e one you might like. It was posted on the Bear Forum 6/15/2000 by jclaude:
For my birthday this year, my wife (the love of my life) purchased a week of private lessons at the local health club for me. Although I am still in great shape since playing on my high school softball team, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.
I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Tawny, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My wife seemed pleased with my surprising enthusiasm to get started.
The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress...
Monday: Started my day at 6:00 AM. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Tawny waiting for me.(She is something of a goddess with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile! ) Tawny gave me a tour and showed me the machines. She took my pulse after five minutes on the treadmill. She was alarmed that my pulse was so fast, but I attribute it to standing next to her in her aerobic outfit. Tawny was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she conducted her aerobics class after my own workout today. Very inspiring... This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!
Tuesday: I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out of the door. Tawny made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air...then she put weights on it. My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Tawny's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT!!! It's a whole new life for me.
Wednesday: The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a Geo in the club lot. Tawny was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered the other club members. (Her voice is a little too perky for early in the morning, and I hadn't noticed that when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is quite annoying...) My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Tawny put me on the stair monster, er, master. Why in HELL would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators?! Tawny told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other s%#t too.
Thursday: Tawny was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I explained that I couldn't help being a half hour late. It took that long for me to tie my f. . .ing shoes. Tawny took me to work out with dumbbells. When she wasn't looking, I ran and hid in the men's room. She sent Lars in to find me. As punishment, she put me on the rowing machine... I sank.
Friday: Tawny. I hate that B%#&H more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Prissy-pretentious-skinny-anemic-little-cheerleader-wanna-be... If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it. Tawny wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps. Don't hand me anything that weighs more than a sandwich.
Saturday: Tawny left a message on my answering machine wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner. I lacked the strength, however, to even use the TV remote and ended up watching eleven straight hours of the weather channel.
Sunday: I'm having the church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank God that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my wife will choose a gift for me that is fun...like a root canal or a vasectomy.
