So I put on Legs of Steel this morning.
It's an old VHS I have from 1992, starring Tammy Lee Webb and she so totally rocks! I lost a bunch of weight doing her tapes back in '92 whuile I was pregnant.
Well, I'm not pregnant (I just play one in the pixellated nightmare that is my waistline), and I only weigh 5 pounds more than in 1992! (LOL) So I popped in that sucker and I was ready to get right down to it.
Within 5 minutes I thought I was going to die. Picture Fat Girl Squatting as a feature film, and put it on widescreen. To the left of me note the excited 4 year old doing her version of the squats (he's listed in the credits as Crazy little kid).
I almost fell over one time when my leg gave way after having to hold my weight for too long (30 seconds rides like thousands), and my daughter took a couple of opportunities to correct my form and do her cursory version of the leg lifting. This was, naturally, so funny that I almost missed the chair during the seated squats.
Finally, as she lay gasping for air after 4 squats, a half-hearted leg lift and two seated lunges, she decided that she had to go to the bathroom (suuuuure. Sly move, there, kid). She came back when I'd switched to abs of steel, and she laid next to me. Right next to me. Almost on top of me.
Why do kids always do that? Did I ask for resistance training? Do I look like I need resistance training? Resistance to me is putting down the cream puff and backing away slowly.
The whole episode was like a political election: me making promises to my musclemasses about how great it was going to be, and then crushing a little kid during the ab crunches to get the poll numbers for the emergency aftermath response.
