The Big Muscle Boss

Lacking sufficient self-motivation at the gym, one has a tendency to stay within one's comfort zone. You know, not push too hard, make your muscles hurt too much, not do too many reps or sets. Especially if you're a slightly fat, overweight bear like me. Especially if ordinary Fitness Classes 5 times or so a week just seem to sap whatever energy one has, leaving little left for serious weight-training activity.

So that's why I hired a Muscle Boss Personal Trainer to force me to get back into free weights and do more sets and reps than my body wants to. Cuz I need that external motivation, I need a Drill Sergeant barking orders at me, I need disciplinary action. (Hell, I need ANY sort of action these days...) So, I've decided to let a Certified Fitness Trainer tell me what to do, how to do it, how many times to do it and when I can stop doing it. Cuz me - and my muscles need to be bossed around sometimes, ya know?
