NSFR! Not safe for radio.

Here's a small piece of advice to the newly initiated fitness freak out there. Never, ever say this to your personal trainer;

"You know, I didn't feel that stiff after our last session..."

 

No, that's like a red flag to a bull and a mistake I will not soon repeat. So here I sit in my chair not by choice, but by design, that of my trainer at PrimeHPI  at Moses Mabhida. However, in my motionless state I am able to reflect on the only arena in which I am her superior, and that is language. (Or so I tell myself)

 

I do giggle though  when I reminisce over  her innocent but ultimately erroneous utterances at the end of our last session.

 

 

Now, to set the context, what the PrimeHPI in conjunction with the "Flora Strong Heart" initiative does is tailor make exercises for you taking into consideration  your age, weight, blood pressure, recovery rate etc...

 

It was during my very hands on session with my Biokineticist that the spoken gaff occurred. I knew that what she wanted to say was;

"When I poke you on your tummy, you must tighten up. When I poke you on your Glutumous Maximus, you must lift there."

 

What she actually said was; "When I poke you in your tummy, you must tighten there. When I poke you in your bum, you must go up."

 

So every time she beats and breaks and rebuilds my body and I want to crawl into the foetal position and cry like a wet-pant schoolgirl, I'll have this gem to cling onto with my last stitch of consciousness to reinforce my false sense of superiority.
