Well, as I said earlier, my goal was to start working out again. Monday, I got up at 6:30 and did the "Dance Your Pants Off" video with Richard Simmons. This morning the alarm went off and I kept hitting snooze. The day is not over yet.
Many people will laugh at this cute, funny little brillo-fro headed man. Not me! I know when he is saying "you're made of steele" he can see just how hard I am working. He is very encouraging. However, when you are first starting to work out, you find him a little more than annoying. His work out takes about an hour. I switch between several tapes, although, I use this one more than the others. I only use the "Disco Sweat" one for his "You did the munchies so you do the crunchies" abdominal work out. I have been known to shout "shut up" to the TV when the people who work out with him are excited to "feel the burn". I know the tape is edited and those people had breaks! Cheaters!
I have a work out ball that I use as well that I have a DVD I use to go with it. That one is only about 5 minutes long and the first couple of times I didn't feel anything and thought "no big deal". After a couple of days, I realized there were muscles I have never used before.
Lastly, I work out with the "fitness on demand" that we have with our cable. I like to do one of these 10 minute work outs before I go to bed. I always do the abdominal ones. There is a clock that the perky "ab nazi" says "shows just how fast time flies". What ever! Sean, who just lays on the bed, usually half asleep, will laugh when "ab nazi" says "come on, you can do it" or "this one is a little more challenging, so be ready to feel the burn" and I yell "oh you *itch".
Between all of these work out, the walking I do at work and the trek up "cardiac hill" for school, I should be able to advance to something else by Christmas.
