I loved loved loved working with a personal trainer. I REALLY miss it. One of the best things about it is having an appointment with SOMEONE ELSE to exercise. The accountability of that is very useful. And learning exercises from an "expert" actually makes the weight machines less scary. If you're lucky, maybe your trainer will have the same philosophy mine did - work with an exercise ball and free weights, which is more fun and gets faster results than the machines.

Go, you! I'm right behind you, as soon as I have a job again. :)
