Workout Date!

I slept in this morning (let’s see…hopping up to bound around a cold living room while still bleary-eyed, vs. snuggling under a nice warm blanket with my boyfriend?  Yep, I stayed in bed!)BUT…I have a hot workout date set up for this evening :)  Gary and I are going to do a P90X weight-training workout together.  I’ve tried the Plyometrics workout so far but none of their weight-training ones.  From what I have read here, and from what Gary has said about them, I will be sore as hell tomorrow, but I know it will feel great!  Each bicep curl, each tricep dip, is one muscle fiber closer to looking great with my new tattoo and showing off my new dress.

I worked out each day this past weekend and am proud of myself, because it required planning to make sure I fit them in and still spent as much time as possible with the kids. 

I love when they work out with me.  One of the best workouts I have ever had was Tae-Boing around with all the kids and Gary, and it’s a miracle we didn’t knock each other out with a wayward jab or roundhouse! 

During one workout, during squats, the instructor on the DVD reminded us to keep our knees above our toes.  One of the kids gave me a strange look and said, “My knees are always above my toes.”  Their commentary about the instructors’ workout wear is usually hilarious too.  And laughing burns extra calories, right?

    That’s what the workouts should be about! Having fun!!! Good stuff involving your kids. My tot is a bit young for structured w/o, but on Sunday morning she woke up just before I finished my workout, walked in the room, saw me doing my push-ups off the floor, while the DVD had the instructor doing it off the step, and in that bossy toddler voice she told me to do it on the step! Needless to say that I collapsed in the middle of my push-up :)

    I love doing Tae Bo with my kid sister! She tries to kick higher than me, but doesn’t understand at a foot shorter than me, that is quite impossible! He sure does wear some interesting outfits! Have fun with your workout tonight! :)

    Woo-hoo! Not only did we do the hour of arms and shoulders, we did the Ab Ripper X, then I did 20 minutes of cardio for a total of 96 minutes! I love working out with him. He pushes me and encourages me, and the workout goes much faster.
