I'm 68 and hired a personal trainer because I've always hated working out. For the first time ever, I feel great and am making progress.

• Although I've never enjoyed working out, I started going to the gym regularly in my late 60s.
• With the help of my personal trainer, I've built muscle and feel better than ever.
• To my surprise, I even discovered that many of the members at my local gym are my age or older.

As a kid, I hated gym class and lived with my nose in a book. While my classmates were playing hockey or soccer, I was in the library on my way to becoming a writer.
