Certificate Wanted

My session with the personal trainer was rescheduled to this morning. As much as I joke about being scared to work out, I had to bite the bullet and actually go first thing this morning. The torturer trainer put me through a series of push ups and sit ups to test my endurance, that brought back horrible memories of my elementary days when I dreaded the ominous President’s Physical Fitness Test. Nothing struck fear in me as much as those four horrible words. I hated the test because I could never pass it, due to the lack of strength in my scrawny arms as I attempted the pull ups. The laps around the track never went much better either as I wheezed my way along until I would suffer the inevitable side stitch that would end my chances for the coveted prize– a laminated certificate signed by Ronald Regan, himself. No, I would never have descrived myself as athletic or even active. But times they are a changin’ and I may be able to do a pull up soon. I wonder how many I need to do to get a certificate signed by Dubya?

ugh I so hate working out, but alas one just has to bite the bullet and do it to get fit (or stay that way).

Pull ups are KILLER! I’ve been doing weight training for a while now and I still can’t really do one of these!

Thanks you guys.

Can you do a push up?

I’ve been trying for about a year and a half – you wouldn’t believe the number of “planks” I’ve been doing and I still don’t think I can do one single proper push up.

I remember those tests. I don’t think I ever got the certificate either. Or did I. Climbing the rope was really hard too.

OMG, I forgot about those tests in PE in school. I hated them too! But trust me, a few sessions with the PT and you could pass that test with flying colors!

You go girl!
