For my fortieth birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a4 b( j& _- v- Y! X" v- g9 n
week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I

years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a6 a; w& G* G; B
try. I called the club and made my reservation with a personal trainer+ \4 u7 m- I' s" J  I) I- `
