Hump Day

Wednesday... Hump Day... getting over the hump of the week, it's smooth sailing from here. BLEAH.

No good magazines yet. I finally got my Marie Claire in the mail, at least two weeks after it's been on the newsstand - explain to me how it's more effective to have a subscription?

Worked out this morning. Denise Austin is much happier than anyone before 10 a.m. and two cups of coffee should be. As much as I actually do like the workouts (I watch her shows on Lifetime - yes, you read that right, I watch something on "The Network for Women" - they also show Will & Grace reruns, so stop mocking me) sometimes I feel like I'm watching a 30-minute commercial for her products. She hawks her new line of workout clothing for Sears during the workout - I'm trying to achieve Zen and thin thighs, lady! Her commercials for Oster and her latest food product zip by as I fast-forward (what did I do before DVR?) to continue the workout. Denise, you're killing me.

Gilad just scares the crap outta me. He yells at me! "Thank you for trusting me with your BODY!" Um... go away? Trusting you with my body, that sounds like a lot of commitment. Just show me how to sculpt my abs. Sharon Mann is like watching the Energizer Bunny work out, and Caribbean Workout just irritates me because they're always in such perfect sync. I just want to see someone trip. So while FitTV started out promising, it's really just ended up back to me and Denise.

But if it's yoga we're talking about, Sarah Ivanhoe is the person to watch. I've got both of her yoga workouts from All Star Workouts on DVD and when I have the 45 minutes to spend, I'm there. I also have a DVD of hers that has two workouts that are challenging and relaxing.

Wow, I totally did not intend to post about working out, but there it is. Now I can nap.

You should check out Cathe Friedrich on FitTv. She kicks a$$. (Now I guess I have to admit that I know this because of my secret home video exercise obsession...there, I've outed myself. I'm not a Gilad fan, either.)

I've only seen her commercials, she scared me. But okay, I'll give her a shot. It's okay to be out, we love you. I'll share my Gaiam DVDs with you.

Gilad is a scary man who yells at me. When he has his mom on the show, I just kind of wonder...

Lore said...

She is scary-advanced, that's for sure, but I modify a lot of it (lighter weights, less jumps). And her DVDs tend to have lots of shorter workout mixes that I like to use.

Okay, now you've gotten me hooked. I need to investigate.
