Fitness in Minutes

I have been laughing so hard reading Three Kid Circus and all of the exercise exploits of bloggers everywhere! All stories about ridiculous exercise purchases and because I have a sense of humor, and some extra pounds, I can't resist sharing my own list!

Let's start with the big seller: Ab Roller. Yup. 5 minute a day for 30 days people. Nothing to it! Then it became a chair for my one year old. But then we had to get rid of it because she fell over!

The ORIGINAL Step. Not to be confused with the "Un-original Step" on the market. I actually used this for a while and managed to actually lose inches and pounds. BUT, lest you think this is not funny...these are the video's I purchased in order to use my Step:

* Denise Austin Need I say more?
* I purchased Buns of Steel along with ABS of Steel!! Didn't we all want buns of steel? Be honest.
* The ever so popular Jane Fonda Step video. Her hair was so effing PERFECT!
* I had a Karen Voight tape that kicked my ASS. I so wanted to have legs like hers. Except that mine are about 6 inches shorter and no amount of exercise was going to fix that particular problem.
* And worst of all....a Cher step tape!! AAAAKKK Cher in all her black lace glory. And me right along with her. Ouch. That one hurts!

I have a yoga mat and a set of yoga blocks in the back of my closet somewhere. I think my son used them once for a matchbox car ramp.

And a really cool set of mini-hula hoops for my arms! Oh - I mean, Pilates Body Circles! WHAT was I thinking?

Me and Billy? We're TIGHT. He's always encouraging me. I love that about him. Always reminding me to "Feel the Burn" and "Don't give up". Uh huh. Yeah. Right. Thanks Billy.

I've had a Diamondback 300 Elliptical Machine taking up space in my home for about 4 years now. I try to use it, but it kind of makes a squeaking noise which really just makes me want to scream...so dusting it has become my priority!

So as you can see, I'm dedicated to being fit. I have the receipts to prove it! But I know that I would totally use the Wii Fit - I had so much fun trying it out and isn't that what all the experts say?

You know, that if you're having fun you will stick with it????
