DOING THE CIRCUIT Alexander Jablokov So tell me, Fiona, what do you want this exercise program to achieve? Im sorry? Whats your goal? Im your trainer. I have to know what youre after. I want, you know, a flatter stomach? I make a note on my sheet. Okay. And, like, a tighter butt? Fine. And I want to be able to brachiate. Brachiate? Swing through the trees like a gibbon?

Ill have to give up on geographical features. Im ready. Fiona, like many of my clients, is desperate to adhere to societys arbitrary standards of beauty. And she is gorgeous, I must admit. There are times when the arbitrary is universal
