push against a wall

Do you know how much work you can do without doing any at all? Today in one of my classes I was teaching the kids about isometric exercising. Basically that's when you push or pull against something that doesn't move...but you push or pull it anyway, and as hard as you can. So we did some of those and I tried really hard and I left with my arms being totally fatigued. Seriously, they had that slight shaky feeling like you go to pick something up and then don't think you can. I was totally impressed! I think I want to do that more often. The thing is that I could pause through the day and do them since they don't take any equipment and are intense but short. Then I'd have my resistance training in and would only have to worry about cardio when I'm not at work. Cool!

So, I think this means tomorrow is leg day.

P.S. I got this and bunches of great exercises at http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/shenandoah/OBB/OBB.html

check the mirror for heaven's sake

So, I don't want this to be a catalog of all the embarrassing things I do in my life, but they are so great I can't help myself. :)

So, I like to workout, and Saturday I duded up and went to the gym. I did some cardio warm up and then some weights and a little circuit training of my own invention. I distinctly remember, while sitting on a mat with my legs in front of me about to do some ab work, noticing that there seemed to be a lot of loose material in my workout pants at the crotch area. Hm, oh well...one, two, three, breathe, four, five, etc. A few more exercises, some good stretching out and I headed to the locker room to collect my personal effects and go home. On my way to the locker room I even passed and schmoozed briefly with the cute guy who signed me up.

Upon entering the locker room I passed a mirror and, of course, glanced at it. Hm, what's that hanging from under my shirt in back? (Closer inspection) HA! Oh my goodness! I've got my pants on backward and those are the strings hanging down in back! Oh man, can you believe me? I did my whole workout with my strings hanging down on my hinnie. I wonder if anyone noticed. Man, what in the world am I gonna do next? On the up side, I have a nice callipygian figure that was showed off nicely with the consequent tightness at my back side. :P
