DVD? GYM? TRAINER? 1

When one finally gets serious about shedding the unwanted padding around the midriff and thighs, very important decisions must be made regarding exactly how the burn should take place:

                    1. DVDs (or videos in some cases – we all have Tao Bo somewhere)
                    2. The Gym (it's been paid for all these years)
                    3. A Trainer (...!)

A long time ago (when I still considered exercise to be the second most hated form of self-inflicted cruelty after dieting) I remember watching an episode of MTV Cribs and wondering why on earth someone would want a gym in their home?

     Now that I understand, I also prefer DVDs because they do not intimidate nor do they yell or follow me home.
     In fact, have you ever been whooped so badly by a workout you needed to pray for the energy to get up?
     Now, imagine this happening at a gym... uh-huh, now you understand why I'm so intimidated?
     That and all the endorphin addicts flying around.
     How difficult is it to concentrate on sit ups while attempting to keep protruding stomach rolls hidden from Ms. Washboard on the treadmill?
     Or trying not to strangle Peacock Muscle Bags who insists on making more noise doing (5lb) reps than a lonely rooster on Valentine's day?
     Now sprinkle a trainer into the mix and we have a problem!
     At least with a DVD there is a pause button and with a gym there is an exit.
     With a trainer, there is no escape!
     And these folks know exactly who they are.
