What is your dirty little workout secret?

paideiamom · 03-29-11, 06:51 PM

Can you only get your groove on with Lady Gaga?
Do you rock it with Richard?
Do you like to do hot yoga in your bathroom naked with the shower on hot water full blast?

Me, I like to put my laptop on my TM and play Plants vs. Zombie while watching Biggest Loser and munching on the crushed ice I make in my Ninja.
For some reason, that just makes me happy. Oh, yeah, I also like Susan Powter. She makes me laugh.

What about you? Confession is good for the soul/sole.

Awesome thread!

I blast electronic dance music while I'm doing my boot camps and sometimes (breathlessly) sing along to really kitschy lyrics.

If it's late at night, I like to work out only in a sports bra and underwear. Or less.

I have squatted 185 lbs. wearing only my panties and weight belt.

If I'm alone at my office early in the morning or at lunch time, I might do a little add-on workout from youtube or acacialifestyle!

I jump on my rebounder while singing along to J Lo's "On the Floor": “Let me introduce you to my party people . . . in the cluuuub. HUH!”

Did I mention that I'm 57?

Skip the workout and have a brownie and a chocolate milk shake.
That's my little secret....

You can tell what kind of week I am having...

I pull the underwear out of my crack. (is that TMI???) whenever I want to.

I toot when I need to. Wait... maybe that isn't the direction this thread should take...
I make unintentional faces, then when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I roll my eyes, try to stop making the face, then over-exaggerate the face.
I love to do TA's DC, and misstep and fly around and act like I look like TA (until I catch a glimpse in the mirror of my flailing)... I feel like a 5 year old in dance class, but I'm happy and it's fun!! I'm sure some time I will wrench my knee though...

I am the majority of VFers worst nightmare - I clap, snap, and whoop while doing a particularly hard or fun workout.

eta: I guess, to be fair, this only happens during cardio. I don't think I have ever whooped, and I have certainly never snapped or clapped while doing kettlebells! That would be a trick, though.

Ah - I love working out at home, gives me lots of freedom to do whatever I want. I can't hear myself with the headphones cranked up, but I love to sing at the top of my lungs when I'm running on the treadmill when I know DH isn't home. Yoga is best when I skip the workout clothes and I roll out of bed in my pjs.
