There's a quote from the TV drama Desperate Housewives that's stuck with me for years: "I have the upper body strength of a kitten ." The phrase was originally employed by fictitious former model Gabrielle Solis, but I use it constantly. I say it when I can't open pickle jars, and when I'm trying to get out of carrying grocery bags from the car to the house. I once said it to my trainer who chuckled and said, "Then do 10 more reps."
