Alright, so I decided I'm going to do this work out DVD. It came with several of them, how hard can they be? Its a BALL for petesake...I'm going to STRENGTHEN MY CORE!!! Surely I can do this!!
Umm? I think I lost my mind for good and all my dignity along with it.... and 15 minutes in to the video I wanted to throw the Big Blue Ball at the lady on my TV Screen... "That's Beautiful" she'd say? What's beautiful? Because I know she's not looking in my family room.. "Thats Excellent".... How does she know? She can't see me, and if she did, she wouldn't be saying "Excellent" she'd be saying "What the heck are you doing woman"....
Oh and apparently my Belly Button is NOT attached to my back very well. Oh Sigh? And I thought it was... But then if it was, according to "Miss Beautiful Excellent", I would have no trouble balancing. Yes... She said that your Balance comes from your belly button and attach it to your back to find your balance...
OK, Houston, We have a problem... I have at least 30 pounds of stomach that reside just behind my belly button... And I'm pretty sure that was keeping it from touching my back, because I couldn't find my balance. But I didn't give up.. OH NO!! I continued on.... A glutton for punishment until my muscles took an out of body experience and Slapped me in the head.... I was determined to find my balance, with or without my belly button being able to touch my spine.... Excellent!
Just when I think I've figured this out... Found my balance, all is good, I hear, "Excellent, now lift that leg" But I don't have any limbs left? One arm is over my head, the other is pointing forward, back is on the ball, Right leg is pointed out, and she says "lift your left leg"... Um, your kidding right?... Oh No, she lifts the leg.... So I lift the leg... "Beautiful" she says... Again, I say... Who is she talking to, because I know it can't be me.
After 20 minutes of this, sweat pouring down my brow and my body Yelling at me "FROM THE CORE".. I hear this..
"That was an Excellent warm up, now lets begin the workout"
WHAT????????????????????? That wasn't the workout? OMG!!!
So 45 minutes later, a laughing Hubby, two falls and a very sore body and can say I successfully completed 2 PARTS of a single DVD... Yup still 2 more parts to go but my Core said.... Thanks but no thanks Lady!
And so I called it quits before killing my abs and breaking my thighs.... Ah! Tomorrow is another day!
