I DID YOGA, MOSTLY BECAUSE in order to eat everything I liked and not weigh three hundred pounds, I had to do something. I walked a lot. Living in a city like New Orleans necessitated it, but if I wanted to indulge in pralines and Erik’s beignets, I needed to do more. Stretching, even adventure stretching like Meredith and I did at the yoga studio downtown a couple of times a week, was nothing compared to the kind of hell the personal trainer seemed intent on putting me through.

Apparently a session with the trainer was part of the new member welcome package. The gift membership a client gave me was set to expire in a couple of months. Despite owning a string of gyms and having the body to show for it, the man had been surprisingly reticent. I helped him boost his confidence and the last I’d heard, he and his new wife were expecting their first child. And I no longer had the excuse of being too busy with work to put off going.

“Push, push, push,” said the twenty-something drill sergeant in perfectly pressed flat-front chino shorts and a white polo with the club’s logo embroidered over what I bet was an impressive pec. The stupid uniform made it impossible to know for sure, which was wrong on so many levels. If I was going to do something that made me sweat so much and hurt so bad, I ought to at least have something nice to look at. Motivation and shit.

I pushed against the bar over my head, giving it everything I had, and watched it move all of two inches before I let go and it slid back to its starting position.

“That’s okay,” he said, more like he was trying to reassure himself than me that I’d eventually get it. “We’ll lower the weight and up the reps. In a couple of weeks, you’ll be hitting the top.”

I couldn’t think about doing this for a couple of weeks. I’d rather be flogged by a firm full of accountants than spend that much time in the gym trying to make weights move for no good reason. I let Commander Ken lead me through a series of leg exercises. They were easier for me than arms and by the time we finished, some of his will to live seemed to have come back even as mine had seeped away. I made it through a minute of plank and called uncle when we hit V sits.

“That was fantastic,” I said, trying and failing to hide the fact that I was gasping for breath. “Just great. Thanks for showing me around.” I struggled to my feet, ignoring my trembling legs so I could escape while I had the chance. I stuck out my hand to shake and after a moment, he took it.

I could tell by the confused expression on his face, he hadn’t been ready to finish. I kept my smile glued in place and he had no choice but to push for more or shake my hand.
