Later at the gym, my trainer decided that we wanted to kill me.

Trainer: 4 sets, 25 reps, done?
Me: I'm dying

Trainer: That's ok. I'll take care of the burial.
Me: I don't want die in the gym.

Trainer: Finished?
Me: *out of breath* last set.

Trainer: Finished. Come here. 40 pounds. Work on your arms. 4 sets, 25 reps.
Me: I don't want to look like He-Man.

Trainer: *Looks at me smugly* done?
Me: I hate this exercise. My arms are hurting.
Trainer: Obviously. If you are doing an arm exercise, only your arms will hurt, not your legs.
Me: One small tip. I want to gradually tone up over a period of time, not in one day. Thanks.
