This made me smile which is what keeps me going at this when I have tough days and simply want to eat a cream cake. I hope it makes you smile too.....

Last night I had my personal training session with my torturer I mean Trainer Ben.

He decided we were going to use a new piece of equipment called a Viper (for those of you who have never come across one it looks like a battering ram with 2 hand holds and comes in different weights)

He carefully described how to old it and that I should hit his gloved hand with each end in turn (sounds simple)

This is the conversation that followed:-

Me “How hard do you want me to hit”

Ben (with a smile) “As hard as you can”

Me “Are you sure you want me to hit as hard as I can”

Ben “yes come on give it all you can, imagine I’ve just got you to do another 3 sets with the kettle bell”

So I hit his hand as requested he stagers back with a surprised look and says “ WOW I didn’t think a you could hit that hard”

Is that not a typical man statement (sorry to all the men reading this) I mean really! Ask me to hit you as hard as I and then be surprised that I do!!!!!!!

Needless to say he was more prepared for the next one...

    I know I had something similar happen last summer. I was hanging out with my friend and her guy friend, (who I've met before, so it wasn't that weird.) and he asked us to help him get up off the floor. Well we each took a hand and pulled, and he said I probably could have yanked him off the floor without my friend. I just thought it was hilarious, xD.

    LOL. Something similar happened to me once.

    I was doing barbell curls and was starting to fail. My spotter said, think of something that makes you mad (I thought of my ex) and I blasted through the set with tons to spare. The look on her face was priceless. She said, remind me never to get you mad.

    Great story
