A Butt-Kicker Workout

I have always been pretty active. Yes, I have my lazy moments (or months), but overall, I have always liked to at least do something. Running has always been a type of therapy for me. Very relaxing. Unfortunately, with the cold months, my asthma kicks up, so running outside is not an option. Since Michael and I are saving for a house, I refuse to pay for the gym!

Luckily, we have On Demand! I have discovered that On Demand has Exercise TV which includes Pilates and Yoga. For the past two days, I have done an intermediate 35 minute, yoga workout. Holy crap! I would always be sore after running, especially when I hadn't run for awhile, but during this workout I worked muscles I didn't even know I had. After only one day I was very very sore! I did it again today - worked through the pain! I figured I should keep going! Even though Weight Watchers has helped me lose a few pounds, I figure I should be toned for my husband too! So for the next few months, until it gets warm and I can get back to running, On Demand is my new friend!

If you really want to amaze Mike you need to do some stripaerobics. Nothing would say welcome back like a pole in the living room. I think I may have mentioned that before. I'm sure On Demand has that as well. :) But seriously, kudos for finding a way to keep working out. That's the best thing you can do to keep yourself busy: EXERCISE. Let's see those workouts on Skype. Hope you have a restful weekend.

I love that Gabe is your number one commenter. I agree Kel, stay busy. Keep doing the downward dog or whatever they call it in yoga.

Loooooove you!
