Shape Up

Today is House of Boy & Girl get in shape day! We've been contemplating joining a gym for a while, but we decided in the end that we really didn't think it was worth the price of admission because we wouldn't use all the features, and that we would have trouble going on a regular basis, mostly because Girl won't go by herself, and Boy doesn't see the need to go, and it would take three times as long to get in a workout as it would if we had the equipment at home because we'd have to drive there and back... So, we're off to buy ourselves some running shoes and a treadmill today. We already have a rowing machine at home, so we'll add to our little gym and hopefully get started on a more regular work out schedule. The rowing machine is great exercise, but sooooooooo boring if you do it day after day. Wish us luck!

Mid-day update: Buying shoes = easy. Buying treadmill = HARD!!! Too many choices, too many mixed reviews. Bleh.

ahh, working out. such fun to be had...i recently started exercising regularly but just at home with an assortment of videos: tae-bo, t-tapp, and yoga. the results are mixed. i'm definitely in better shape and feel healthier but my clothes are fitting worse not better. very frustrating! now that it's warmer i have started walk/running hoping that the change will work. hopefully you'll have better luck than me.

LOL, I sooooooo do NOT exercise outdoors! I need A/C and TV and MP3 and lots of other acronyms to motivate myself!
