  4. Say, did you get this picture off the cover of the Feb. 2009 IDEA Fitness Journal magazine? I write for them! Anyway, this blog isn't silly enough. Guess you'd better keep writing!

  8. You know you have a bad personal trainer when, after you're through, he pats you on the back and says, "Now let's go get dessert."

    I think it's OK as long as he doesn't pat you on your "bootylicious" butt.

  11. And all this time I thought tequila was helpful in a post workout margarita. You know....replenishing salt and all. ;)

  12. :-) Are you speaking from experience???

  13. Well personally I love when my trainer calls me bootylicious. It distracts me from the fact that he has no idea what he's doing!

  14. And I thought my trainer was just a bit over the top when he asked to store his bong in my locker. After reading this, he's looking pretty good...

    Love,
    Jill

  19. I´m thinking about becoming a personal trainer.
    No caramel apples (during the session)
    No tequila
    What do you mean, Gluteus Maximus wasn´t in Gladiator? Wasn´t he the bloke with the fancy sandals?
    .....
    Think I got it!
    Thanks for the tips

    (love your blog)

  20. Well duh a good trainer would use vodka because you can not tell the difference between that and water duh!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Damn...now I want a caramel apple...

    ReplyDelete
  22. See, that's why I leave the personal trainers alone...

    ReplyDelete
  23. No wonder having a personal trainer didn't work for me! I might have liked him better if he'd had tequila to share. On second thought, probably not. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I personally would pay my trainer more to call me Bootylicious.
