Push ups are for babies

I think everyone would agree that Groupon is the best invention since Google (or something close to that)...right? I mean come on...deals on hour long massages (that you're given a glass of wine before thus causing you to fall asleep), pedicures (you never seem to use), restaurants that you mean to use for dates that you could gain something out of it  (but ALWAYS manage to use them with just your friends), and last but not least those groupons for exericise classes that always seem to be such a good idea at the time. I got a yoga groupon that I still have not used all of the classes for. Let's be real...me find my inner qi and relax? Um no. Downward dog? Sun Salutation? Some kind of warrior position? I suck at breathing and focusing on releasing my inner stress. Also..you do NOT sweat in yoga..what a waste of an hour an a half. I went twice. So, I found this groupon for a Boot Camp class...I thought to myself...perfect! I will get an ass kicking, sweat busting, 6 week workout for a mere 35 smackaroos. I recruited my coworker and dear friend to join me. We thought we could just roll on in to the class decked out in a sports bras and camelbak waterbottles. NOT SO EASY. Little did we know we had to go through a freaking interview process just to get started in a first class. The owner of the gym, lets call him Sam, asked us five billion questions about what we wished to gain out of our time at this gym within our 6 weeks of attending there. He also proceeded to tell us how he has given up meat and everything terribly awful for him (do you ladies drink alcohol (um, sir...we are 24 years old...what do you think?) and is so healthy!! All the meanwhile, I'm just sitting there thinking, MAN, I JUST WANNA WORK OUT. After this insanely long process, we were enrolled, HURRAH. We stroll in the first day thinking it will be a good work out but we were not too worried (I mean we work out consistently enough at our own gyms). But let me tell you were were sore for a week!! He has us doing this crazy push ups that require you to keep your arms completely at your side...in which he is constantly "correcting my form"...DUDE MY FORM IS NEVER GONNA GET BETTER....GET OUT OF MY FACE. It's like having a constant personal trainer telling you you are doing it wrong. If I can't kick someone's ass by the end of this...it was pretty pointless. Only two weeks left..or is it three. Not sure, I'm bad at math. This gym costs $150 to join...not gonna happen.
