For the past six weeks or so, Trevor and I have been working out...together. For the record, we have NEVER worked out together the entire time we've known each other. Trevor's sometimes expresses some interest, but I've preferred to do my own thing as far as exercise goes. For Christmas this year, I got a DVD workout program and Trevor decided to do it with me. I was a little apprehensive about it! Trevor's was in way better shape than I was and I was a little afraid of his ridicule or worse...pity. :o) I shouldn't have worried. The whole program is intense. We hardly have the energy to look at each other during it, let alone notice what the other person can or can't do.
Anyway, on to the list entitled "The Best Things About This Program":
- It's something the entire family likes to do. When we pull out the DVD the kids go running to put on their workout clothes. (Doing the workout around four moving kids doesn't usually go well, therefore we've had to modify when we workout when we can! Then, they're VERY sad that they missed it.)
- Bonding with Trevor over exhaustion, sore muscles, and sweat.
- Jeans that fit just a little better.
- The kids have a whole new arsenal of one liners. The best was when I said something like I didn't want to do the dishes or laundry and Jordan told me to "Dig deeper Mom, Dig deeper."
- Feeling like I can't wait for the weather to warm up because I know I'm in better shape to run.
- Listening to Trevor pick apart the workout. Seriously, he notices every glitch in the program. Including and not limited to when we only stretch on one side for five seconds and we stretch on the other side for eight.
- Laughing about some parts. The lead guy talks about his "big quads" a couples times and how he has to modify the exercises to accommodate them. There's also a girl that reminds me of the blond, spacey acting girl on Glee. Highly entertaining.
- Checking off working out everyday. It feel good to have some consistency.
- Having Abby tell me that this one particular exercise "really freaks me out" because she's not sure if she'll EVER be able to do it.
- Spending time with Trevor doing something active and fun...once it's over. :o)
Does anyone know which program we're doing? If you have a guess, leave it in the comments, there might possibly be a prize if someone knows. :o)

I don't know the workout, but am totally intrigued, especially by the 'big quad' teaser. I'm kidding about that last part. How fun that you guys have found a way to workout together!
The pillow is cute. I'm glad you posted. I've been thinking about you guys and wondering how life was treating you.
Six weeks together working out? That is impressive!! I wish we were so motivated! I'm guessing a kickboxing/baron baptiste yoga video...but that is all I really know:) I wish I had more experience in the dvd workout arena!
I don't know about the video either, but I'm always game for a fun new workout. I'm impressed you're doing it together though. Nick will watch for a few minutes, but he's never voiced wanting to join in. I could tell my girls like my videos when they were taking turns being the "exercise teacher" the other day.
P90X? What ever it is, good job! I especially loved that Jordan's one liner :)
Is it PX90? I have heard that is a pretty intense workout.
Way to go with the exercise! Wish I was doing crafts with you guys! I love the pillow. I would have to guess p90x too. I have heard it's pretty intense.
