Don’t be left behind

Every time I mock an exercise move or workout I end up getting my butt kicked, literally. I scoffed at Shaun T.’s Rockin’ Body and the first work out of Tony Horton’s P90X Program, only to find great fitness routines and a resulting sore body. This morning I worked out with Shannan using Debbie Siebers’ Slim in 6, Ramp It Up! Program.

At one point you get on all fours, lift one knee and extend the leg back. I questioned out loud, “Is this the move?” Shannan confirmed and noted that it reminded her of Jane Fonda exercise tapes (yes, VHS) from days of old. I snickered a little to myself at the move, not the VHS reference.

Following Debbie Siebers’ thighs and gluts segment, however, I fully felt the purpose of the simplistic moves. Throughout the rest of that day I was continually reminded of the strain. Wow, did that little set of isometric moves do a great job! It’s funny; most workouts for men do not target those same areas. Who says nice legs and behinds are just for women?
