Small Slice

Are you all ready to mock me?  Are you?

Guess what I have sitting in my living room?  Guess what I have been faithfully straddling and riding for two weeks?  Guess what is responsible for my abs, butt and inner thighs hurting like a ^%$&@!!!?

I got me a iGallop.  (And no, I didn't pay full price for it - I had promo codes etc)

It is so freaking funny.  I think it has got to be ranked up there as one of the world's stupidest exercise concepts, but so far, it is really targeting the areas on my body where I'm carrying the most flab, and I can simulaneously watch What Not To Wear while exercising because it is very quiet.

Besides, it is hilarious, which gets high marks from me.  And sort of pornographic, which gets high marks from my husband. 

And the exercise DVD that comes with it?  Haaaaa!  First of all, I am not yet strong enough to do the balancing moves they suggest, but the woman who is demonstrating the moves is grim.  She doesn't crack a smile, and she appears to be working very hard to stay on the machine and I was all "Yes!  This hurts!  She's not perky! Finally, the truth exposed!  Exercise done well makes people grim!"

(I jest.  But I love that she is not happy one bit for the entire DVD.)

Anyway, I'm off to do some upper body exercises with my weights, and then have a little ride right now.  And then I'm going to jog on the trampoline, too.   And you can bet that I'll be grinning from ear to ear.
