April 3, 2019 — 

I have an annual physical coming up in a couple of weeks. Stop laughing, that's not the funny part. In order to prepare, I decided I should start working out a little so I at least wouldn't get winded climbing up on the exam table or pass out after having to take 3 deep breaths. Fortuitously, my apartment complex invited a local personal trainer to come in and offer some free advice. After I introduced myself and described my fitness goals, he offered the following words of encouragement, "You're not exercising until your nose bleeds, you have a headache and it shows up on social media." As I turned to walk out the door, he asked me where I was going. I told him, "Heck if that's exercise, I had my workout this morning when I bent over to tie my shoelaces!"
