Nice Try, But No Cigar

August 24, 2006 By Jenny Ryan 2 Comments

Today was “leg day” with my trainer at the gym.

She showed me this exercise she wanted me to do that was a combination of a squat, a squeeze, and a ballet position. It is designed to work your entire lower body, but it looked really hard. So I decided to try and stall for time.

Me: “I never took ballet. I’m too short to be a ballerina.”

My Trainer: “True. But you’re not too short to squeeze your ass.”

    Great comeback! Of course, I probably would have wanted to smack her upside the head, but great comeback nonetheless!

    Yes, I definitely felt that urge too 🙂 But I stamped it down because I do like the results I’m getting, even if there are some days when I cannot walk or lift my arms at all.
