I'm trying to get back into the swing of things as far as exercise is concerned. So I pulled out all of my videos, my step boxes and hand weights and after stepping over them for the past 2 weeks I finally used them today. In the past I have tried to go through the videos top to bottom, not doing the same video for a week or two, today's video was OLD SCHOOL. Now when I say old school I mean Jane Fonda anal floss leotards, scrunchy socks, Rebook high tops and headbands old. I swear to you they ended each circuit with jazz hands!
My favorite videos are The FIRM. {Note: this is not a paid advertisement but if someone from The FIRM would like to compensate me with the new 13 disc 30 day express program I'll be happy to send you my address!}. I'm already feeling like a VW Bug hit me so I'm sure by tomorrow morning it will have progressed to a Mac truck! I worked out so hard today sweat was running from under my boobs and pooling in the rolls of fat lovin' where my abs should be. I also had pit stains, which then forced me to have to smell my own armpits, because ya know if I smell then I did good! Trust me when I say, I did good!
Doing this video made me laugh and left me comparing my workout with sex.
I think there a special school, other than the obvious, for all aerobic instructors. A sex face and 1-800 operator voice school. "UUHH Yes, that's it, look at those biceps working"..."this feel soooo good!"..."give me one more". I kid you not, those were a few of the things that were said today and all with the biggest O face and sexiest whisper of a voice possible.
Now I understand this concept when I'm working out if I were working out to Carmen Electra's Striptease aerobics but in a regular video is there really a need for all the bedroom dramatics? "Now put your finger in your mouth. Ladies, don't ever underestimate the power of your finger in your mouth" That would be an actual quote from Carmen Electra. Please tell me what the fitness benefit of sticking your sweaty finger in your mouth is? Seriously!
According to Carmen all you need to get that sexy body you've always wanted is a bed and some attitude. Oh and the ability to swing your hair around, a nice pair of 6" eff me pumps, and whatever the mannequin was wearing last week at Frederick's of Hollywood! Maybe that's why I'm still fluffy and have jiggly parts, I always wear yoga pants, a T-shirt and tennis shoes!
I tried to embed a video clip form The FIRM but they were all blocked but lucky for you I was able to find this picture. How sweet is that?
If you have nothing better to do You Tube search The FIRM Classic workout videos, if nothing else it will be a good laugh!
Do you workout?
At home or a gym?
What are your tips for sticking to your program?
What motivates you? My current motivation is my pending girls weekend with my favorite Bloggy girls.
Hey girls, 65 days!

all my workouts happen in the bedroom wearing eff me heals with my finger in my mouth.
now the secret is out and everyone is going to know how i keep my body hot and sexy.
thanks Shawn!!!!
gah!
65 days? But I'm not ready yet!!
Yes I workout. ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME.
I work out at the gym mostly but we've started doing P90X at home too. I'm waiting for the fat to melt away. So far, my muffin top and back fat is still staring back at me in the mirror.
My motivation is bathing suit weather! Ugh.
OMG. I'm laughing at loud at Mama's comment!!! She is too funny!
I'm getting ready to start P90X. My motivation is bathing suit season! We will see how long this lasts. I despise exercise!
I need to workout (SO BAD) but I can't get motivated to do it! Not sure what is wrong with me, muffin top and back fat mock me every day and I just look at em and tell straight where they can go!
I need a swift kick in the rear! I have wii fit, a ball, core tapes, used to have Carmen (she was just to much!) Dancing with the stars which I haven't even opened yet.
Since I have decided to live my dangerous side through you maybe I will live my exercise side through you too... In that case.. "you call that sweating??? Give me 20 more"!!! LOL
have a good one!
I have no motivation! None whatsoever. When I do manage to do something, it's walking...or what mamarazzi said! :D
I can't comment. Mamarazzi's comment trumps anything I would say. lol
Sounds like those videos are totally back in style then. :). And yes, workout videos do leave something to be desired. I used to do Zumba, but she changed what nights her class is on...now I uh....hmmm nothing. So need to change that
Exercise? What is dis "exercise" you speak of? Fat rolls? Oh yes! I know of de fat rolls.
65 days?
Geez. It will take me longer to put away the laundry that is currently hanging off of my treadmill.
Good Job Shawn! I can totally see you Jazzersizing.
LEt's Get Physical! I really want to be Olivia Newton-John for Halloween.
I just started a 34 day challenge. No sugar, no booze and no fast food.
Hold me.
65 Days???? Shut your face.
I'm already out of time because there is NO way that I can be even CLOSE to swimsuit ready in 65 DAYS...probably not even short ready. My attire for the Austin weekend will probably be a black...just black, lots of black. I'm bringing my skinny mirror. Wonder if Impulsive has room in Black Beauty for my skinny mirror?
When I do exercise *coughnevercough*, I like to either go to the track or do some DVDs at home. My fav is The Shred, even though Jillian makes me her bitch. I like it. I also like the Prevention workout DVDs. I have all of them. I'm a collector of workout DVDs. It's psychological...like perhaps owning them will make me skinny or something.
My motivation is Austin...my cousin Kristen's glamourous wedding in September...and the chance that Rob will one day see me naked.
Fat rolls I completely understand....exercise I do not.
My form of exercise comes on the weekend when Levi gets home. Hey its got to be a good workout if you have a weeks worth of sex in 3 nights right?
TMI? OOooooooops!
I have no words.... I mean I had a ton of things to say while I read your post but then I read comments & Mamarazzi's... she freakin rocked the comment on that one & then Shortmama... ooohhh goodness! See, why comment, I just can't compete on this one!
65 days??????
Uh oh.
I just ate gallons of fat and sugar over spring break.
My plan?? Run. Lots of run. And then run some more.

I LOVE the Firm! It definitely kicks butt.
Also - I totally have that outfit. The Carmen Electra one. Isn't that what everyone works out in?
