Working Out!

" Working Out !! "


If you can read this through without laughing out loud.... Well perhaps
You should go yourself. This is dedicated to everyone who ever
Attempted to get into a regular workout routine.

Dear Diary,

For my 60th birthday this year, my daughter IRENE (the dear) purchased
A week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I
Am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader
43 years ago, 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 Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics
Instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My daughter
Seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged
Me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

MONDAY :
Started my day at 6:00 a.M. To ugh to get out of bed, but found it was
Well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Belinda waiting
For me.
She is something of a Greek goddess - with blond hair, dancing eyes
And a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!! Belinda gave me a tour and showed
Me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she
Conducted her aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already
Aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. This is going
To be a FANTASTIC week-!!

TUESDAY :
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door.
Belinda 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. Belinda'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 parking lot.

Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other
Club members. Her voice is a little too perky for early in the morning
And when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the
Stair 'monster'. Why the heck would anyone invent a machine to simulate
An activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me it would
Help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other stuff too.

THURSDAY :
Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her
Thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help
Being a half an hour late - it took me that long to tie my shoes.
Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I
Ran and hid in the restroom. She sent another skinny witch to find me.
Then, as punishment, she put me on the rowing machine - which I sank.

FRIDAY :
I hate that witch Belinda more than any human being has ever hated any
Other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic,
Anorexic little cheerleader! If there was a part of my body I could
Move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it.

Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And
If you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the darn barbells
Or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me
Off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have
Been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?

SATURDAY :
Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly
Voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her made me
Want to smash the machine with my planner. However, I lacked the
Strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching 11 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
daughter IRENE will choose a gift for me that is fun
- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me
to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!(or chocolate!)
