Two of my gym buddies have started working out under a personal trainer. Wow, I thought personal trainers were only for celebs . But it’s pretty neat that they can afford one.

It seems he drives them pretty hard too. I guess he has to if he wants visible results quick. I can’t wait to see how they turn out.

The trainer has asked if I’m interested in training under him. Nah, I told him, I’m not sure a structured approach will work well for me at all.

I’m happy to plog along at my own pace and I pretty much know what I’m doing. I’m not saying I know everything but enough to see that my workouts have been effective.

Most importantly, I’m very pleased with the shape I’m in. At this point, I don’t need someone to crack the whip on me and turn me into a reed. But if I go to any more of those wedding dinners, I just might .
