My Husband is Having an Affair. . .
with Leslie Sansone! Every morning at 5:20 he is in front of the TV doing part of the 2 mile workout from the Walk Slim series. And she is being pretty rough on him. Notice I said part of the workout. This poor man can only make it through 25 of the 35 minutes. All these months he has been thinking I’m not really exercising when I “walk” in the den. I think he was in shock that he couldn’t even finish the workout. Then when he asked if I could get through it, a new respect was born when I told him I generally do at least the 3, if not the 4, mile workouts.
I will be doing it with him Sun, Tue, and Thursdays. Not sure if that will be good for our marriage, but it might give him the support to keep going beyond the 30 days for a competition at work. He’s only been doing it for 3 days, but he’s snoring much less so I’m getting more sleep. Monday, Wednesday and Fridays I am doing the First Day (Couch) to 5K workouts. I’m on week two and am amazed that I can actually do it. Sandy suggested Podrunner.com and for anyone thinking of doing the 5K program, it is great. The music is techno, not exactly my favorite, but to have the pace set and not have to watch a timer to know when to change is well worth a half hour of techno.
ah! you scared me with the blog title! anyway great job with everything! sounds like you’re doing fantastic!
my husband had a short one with someone named Wimbleton…but I think he ended it this weekend!
I do podrunner…and love it!
Me and my wife work out to those videos too! We have the dvd with the 5 workouts on them and i just picked up the power abs one, but have not busted it out yet. I personally like the kickboxing workout
Your title freaked me out a little bit until I noticed the Leslie Sansone part. LOL
I am glad he is getting into it. It is easier when you are not the only one trying to be healthy.
Take pride in the fact that you can do more than he can. Gotta love that!
Kudos on the 5k thing. That is awesome D.
that leslie sansone should learn some respect! haha.. i almost freaked out when i saw your blog title, but great job! Its a feel good moment for everyone!
Could be worse. Could be richard simmons
LOL, great title. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ms. Sansone’s workouts. I am such a clutz, but I can actually follow hers. I tried a new one today that kicked my butt lol! (It incorporated weight and strength training–exactly what I need!) But I did it, and it felt awesome! Kudos to your hubby and to you for supporting him!
Respect feels good, especially when its from someone who did not “get” how hard it was.
Lyssa, that was just too funny, Richard Simmons comment.
Exercising together is a great recreational activity for couples as long as they don’t get too competitive. LOL
That is so funny Diane!! I have been trying to get my husband to do those workouts with me too. But he won’t. He thinks its too funny. I would love for him to do it to see how far he would get. Especially the Fatburning one thats 45 min. and jogging. :0)
