Last night my trainer John Bolesta brought me up to the second floor of the tennis center at Saucon Valley Country Club. The club recently renovated the center to include two first-class floors for fitness: one for classes and free-weight exercise, and the other for circuit training. 
I must admit this is where my threshold for exercise is tested. Just looking at this impressive display of equipment-12 state-of-the-art Nautilus machines-for circuit training, I feel incredibly overwhelmed and little bit intimidated. Thank goodness I am working with a trainer, as I have no idea how to even sit on most of these properly.

As we make our way to the first machine, he signals for me to sit down. I signal back in wacky hand gestures that I have no idea how. He laughs. I find I really like working with a trainer. He keeps me focused and allows me to be silly. If I were on my own, by now I would have sat down and tried to pull weight that was way too much for me and I would have been using all the wrong body positions and muscles in the process.
