Thank you! I totally get what you mean; I want my UST to be in my fic, not my workout. I could have had a personal trainer when I was still at home and being dragged to the club by my parents but the very idea was unpleasant. It's only through reading la_directora's positive experiences and talking weekly to my best friend about what she gets out of having a personal trainer that has led me to consider this.

I would consider it a success to drag my sorry butt out of bed in the morning to work out! I don't do it over lunch OR in the morning. Or in the evening. Thus, my problem.

When last I was working out regularly, I was combining hand weights with low-impact aerobics and I really liked the muscle definition that gave me in my shoulders and arms. I'm looking to the weight machines to help me there because dancing and yoga don't work like that. I'm hoping they've made some real strides in the 20 years since I last used them. (At least the butt crack thong outfits of the late 80s are a distant memory. The stationary bikes faced the Stairmasters and I hated watching the women on them because they invariably wore those hideous things.)
