Pure Evil

January 23, 2007 By Jenny Ryan 9 Comments

Today at the gym.

My trainer: “OK, now I want you to go down into lunge position. And when you’re down I want you to stay down there and just pulse 20 times.”

Me: “We have a name for these at my house.”

My trainer: “Oh yeah? What’s that?”

Me: “We call these ‘Pure Evil’.”

As I’m getting ready to do the next set I see my trainer walking towards me with a set of free weights in her hands.

Me: “I wonder what’s worse than pure evil?”

My trainer: “Pure evil with weights?”

    I don’t know what I would say if someone told me to get down and “pulse”. I’d probably interpret it as “get down and have a seizure for a while”, which really wouldn’t be much fun or a good workout.

    Pure evil is right 😉

    I need a trainer SOOO badly.

    because without one I”m just doing the “yeah, that’s evil – I can skip evil” routine. *sigh*

    I will say that I never would have forced myself on my own to do what she makes me do. I like the results, and she enjoys the pain, so really everyone wins.

    Luckily for me she is just as much of a smart ass as I am, so she does not at all mind being referred to in this way, or my sarcastic jokes and responses to her commands.
