I’m Back in My Skinny Jeans!!

I’m sure that ALL of you know just how much I hate exercising, but I made a conscious effort to exercise every single day and to make sure that I get my heart rate up. And the only way that I seemed to be able to do that is by using the exercise ball with the video. And it seems to be working. I have two pairs of skinny jeans that I couldn’t make myself get rid of. I kept thinking… one of these days I will get back into them and yesterday was the day. I had just put my last pair of jeans into the laundry and my skinny jeans were all that were left. Might as well just see how well my exercise program is doing… and to my amazement, they fit… quite comfortably I might say. I was stunned. Sure didn’t expect to get into them that quickly (if ever) and now I have two extra pair of jeans! So, even when you are over 40 (and I’m not saying how much lol) you can still lose those inches. And with three different dvds to choose from, there is less chance of getting bored. Definitely been there and done that. I certainly didn’t pay $7.00 for mine, so I’m thinking that this is one really good deal!

Granted, not all exercise programs are going to work for everyone. I have a very short attention span, so I have lots of dvds to choose from. When I get bored with one, I go on to another. But, getting back into those skinny jeans just might make me stay with this program longer than I expected.

I don’t think that I’m alone in this… I HATE TO EXERCISE! It’s a little thing with patience I think. I get bored VERY EASILY. And then with some of the exercise programs that are on DVD, well, I like the variety, but it’s kind of hard keeping your eye on the TV while trying to copy the move! That’s why I like about this program so much. You pretty much pull the ball up in front of the TV and then just copy her. You aren’t moving the way you would with most other exercise programs, but don’t let this fool you. The first workout will have your heart pounding by the time you are finished the first 10 minutes… okay, 5 minutes. And this is all to do with bouncing on a ball??

And this is just the first DVD of the 3 DVD set. I haven’t even moved on to the other two! And in closing, you might be asking yourself why you need a DVD. Isn’t a ball enough?? In a word no! I had a ball long before I picked up this kit (now I have two balls and all the straps that come with it) and really didn’t know what to do with it. The first ball came with a wall chart, but my brain doesn’t work that way. I needed hands on help it seems. And this set (listed below $20.00) gave me all the help I need.

*And here’s a little bonus that I wasn’t expecting. My husband plays soccer with the other ball. In my office there is a love seat and he loves to try to kick the ball (while I’m working) and make it land on the love seat without rolling off again and that’s HARD. Hey, he’s exercising so I’m not going to say a word. Just how much damage could he do??
