For my fortieth birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a, |3 i4 g; E4 `) B3 F* h
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 a( W! V3 [2 K& e/ B
try. I called the club and made my reservation with a personal trainer
