Sad Day! Tales from TaeBo

(Augie, the instructor, makes Courtney be the example for how to measure one's arms)

Augie: Relax the arm, and I'll take a measurement...Now flex it.

Courtney: Oh, yeah...me with all my muscles.

A: Don't knock yourself! You have muscles!

(Augie takes the flexed measurement. It's the same as the relaxed.)

C: Obviously not.

(First day of TaeBo)

Courtney: So, Augie, I have these back problems and I'm seeing a chiropractor. Will that influence my TaeBo?

Augie: What exactly is the problem?

C: Well, basically, I used to be fat, then lost a lot of weight suddenly. But my spine is still acting like it has all the weight, messing up my posture.

A: So, you really just need to change the muscles around your spine, right?

C: Pretty much. That's what my chiropractor is trying to adjust.

A: You just need to work out, girlfriiiieeend!

C: That's exactly what I did NOT want to hear.
