Feel the Burn!

So a few friends from the ward and I have recently started an exercising group. Following the masses we've decided that January means weight loss, finding more energy, and being healthier. Last week we kicked it with Mr. Supercool Washboard Abs (whose real name somehow escapes me), and did "Hip Hop Abs". The one pregnant woman of the group left us in the dust with her serious skills, but it was actually quite fun, and I'd highly recommend it. We laughed so much that even though it took me a while to really 'hit it' (ahem, lingo) I still got a killer workout.


This morning was "The Biggest Loser: Cardio Max". Yet another great workout- Hello Lunges!! Which of course meant more laughter. At one point I tried to do the jumping lunges- you know, stepping it up a notch, and my friend who was behind me later told me that she thought about doing it too, but she figured she'd probably look like I did and decided it wasn't worth the collapse. :) Ahh, the joys of workout videos! Honestly, I have to say that I love them. They are inevitably full of a wide range of quirky instructors, weird music that's trying to pass itself off as cool, and I'd-never-do-this-in-public-but-somehow-in-the-privacy-of-my-own-home-its-ok attitudes.


Thank you Richard Simons, Jane Fonda, and the entire crew of Mousercise for starting the whole delightful ball rolling!
