I have never been a big fan of televised fitness programs. Something about men looking like the incredible Hulk in capri length spandex and stick women in shiny hose and leotard that are cut all the way to their midwaist wearing fake/forced smiles just turns me off. I have, however, found two pretty nice exercise shows on tv and had them recorded for use on my non pilates/yoga days. And yesterday was one of those days. So on a quick note I want to share a pro and con of exercising in your own home as opposed to the gym. Lets go with the pro first.
When you get sweaty hot and the loose shirt you wore for comfort is sticking to you, you can take it off and fling it on the couch with out missing a beat or causing any visual trauma for others around you. However, there is a con. I have three dogs. One blue heeler,Tiny, and two pugs, Sam and Jack. When I was on my hands and knees on my mat they obviously werent used to seeing me in this position. Tiny ran circles around me, licking my face and neck every chance she got. Sam ran directly under me and rubbed dog hair all over my sweaty self while Jack sat on the loveseat and whined so loudly you would think he was contacting people 10 miles away to come and rescue us. They must have truly thought I was dying, being down on the floor, sweating profusely and breathing like I had just run a marathon. I did manage to do the entire workout. Well, the parts that I could do anyway. And next time the dogs will be outside.
