Killer Spooning Strikes Again August 22, 2007

Digg! this story.

I have once again fallen victim to the killer spooning. I was totally and completely awake to go to the gym at 5:30am, but the snuggle monster changed that idea rather quickly. After Jeff (a.k.a. Snuggle Monster) went to work, I did get up and do the full 55 minute “Body Sculpt” routine from The Firm. It is the only infomercial gadget I have every bought. (I mean really, would you ever buy something called the “Fanny Lifter”?) 
But, I was pregnant, on bedrest, emotional, lonely, and felt the need to take control of something. I had a phone, QVC, and the offer of free shipping on my side. The rest is history. BUT, it has got to the the best workout video I have ever done. It’s cheesy, yes, but even Jeff uses it. I always get a really nice burn and I love how they incorporate free weights with squats. I will probably be sore tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure the calories reported are wrong. I was using the Garmin again today to report heartrate.
Time to go make my coffee…

This is the problem with Jeff’s current problem - it’s contagious!
But well done for doing your home workout anyway.
One other thing for all US readers - when I read this post, I almost choked on my Earl Grey tea and scones - you should know that the US word “fanny” is not one for polite conversation in the UK. ‘Nuff said.
LOL! Okay, that is too funny. I have a friend from Austrailia who offered to “nurse” someone’s baby. All she meant was to hold it, but she got some pretty strange looks.
Hey Kim, I got back into shape doing Buns of Steel after my kids were born. It works! A few months later I was able to train with my sister who was a personal trainer, which was very nice. I say do whatever works for you!
How many of us, at least the older of us, aren’t acutely familiar with the original Jane Fonda tapes. Sometimes the comfort of our own home allows us to get the best work out. We don’t worry how we look…
…well, maybe in Jane’s case we do bust out the heavy makeup, hairspray, spandex & leg warmers — I didn’t say that looked good, but it does take a lot of “worrying” to achieve…
…back on point, good for you for dusting off the tapes and going for it! Who cares how ridiculous the name or outfits as long as it gets us going!
I predict a hard run in the morning. Jen leads the Body sculpt. She gets me bad every time.
