Zumba

Yes it is largely a chick thing.

Anywhoo, so my wife has been working out a lot for the last year or so. Burning up the treadmill, running with us, doing a lot of various exercises at home, etc.

For Christmas I got her some of these Zumba DVD's. It's basically a music/dance workout system. She loves them and does sometimes an hour or more of them and then uses the treadmill for an hour as well.

So she was telling me about one of the DVD's that focuses on abs. I'm thinking "this is chick stuff it can't be too bad." And like most wives I think she could read my smug smile as exactly saying that.

"Do it with me then."

OK, challenge accepted. I feel my core is relatively decent seeing as the work we do focus a lot on core strength, prime movers, etc.

So it's like 5-7 minute sections, with probably 30 minutes in each subdivision.

We do the first section and it wraps up. I go "well that wasn't bad" and start to walk off.

"It's just getting started" she says.

30 minutes later I admit "yeah I can kinda feel it."

Decent workout, I did it a couple days with her recently when we had the freezpokalips here and it didn't get much above freezing for a couple days.

On a plus note, lots of nice looking females in the video working out as well, makes it easy to follow

I don't know, we may have to check your "man-card" for that one.

My wife has had me try some of her pilates videos multiple times before. I've tried to do some of the exercises and they are much more difficult than they look.

That's okay.

I'll stick to squats, deadlifts, and cleans, etc.
