I am never going to work out again. Jenine is ill this week, and cannot go to the gym. I am locked indoors with the devil- oops- I mean, children. I can't get out!
Do you remember the thigh master? It's a laughable contraption used for embarrassing one's self. I have one, and I pulled it out today. See, my latest theory is that just adding what activity I can will burn extra calories. A good idea, no?
So, the thigh master works only one muscle, but it's a doozy. It's that muscle on the inside of your leg, and way up high. There is no visible purpose for this muscle, so far as I can tell. I am baggy just there, like the flag of flabby skin under my arm when I wave. Same issue. I am very excited about the potential for this thigh master.
Who promoted the thigh master? Susan, something-or-other, wasn't it? She's about 50 and really firm still, which ought to clue us in. This baby must work.
I was doing it earlier and counting my reps like an obsessive compulsive. 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4....I have no idea how many I really did. But the process led me to another muscle involved. It's my lower back. Ouch!
Then I have this grip exerciser. You hold it in your hand and squeeze, and Squeeze. It doesn't seem to do much for my strength, but it sure is helping with my stress reduction.
What fad excercise thingys do you have?

I am not a fan of exercize gadgets. I don't think I've ever bought one. But I do see them at garage sales.
Good girl though, for doing something.
I would SO go to the gym with you if you lived here. We could do the treadmill and then life weights in the weight room with all the big scary men. Wouldn't that be fun?
Of course, I meant lift weights...
I'm not really sure if running shoes count as a gadget, but I'm ready to throw mine away!! My shins hurt and I believe a very wicked kung fu instructor forced me to throw punches at absolutely no one, therefore causing me to pinch a nerve in my shoulder. I going to use the exercise equipment that was suggested in your first blog. No injuries should occur, unless of course my husband joins me. (Am I allowed to say that in public?) Well I did! I'm sure if I need to I will apologize tomorrow!

Kelly, You crack me up. I miss you! I hate to say it but I too have become addicted to exercise. I know it is hard for you to believe. Miracles still happen and I am living proof! I think I might start my own blog. That way we can keep each other informed. :) Love ya, KiKi
You know, it really sounds like you need to take up tennis! Works most of your muscles, is fun and you get to whack the tar out of an innocent ball! Very stress relieving. (I play but getting harder to find people my age willing to play - too short of extension cords on their televisions!) Of course, bass fishing is more interesting to watch...
Somers? Yuck!
