1. Sometimes brushing my teeth before working out in the AM is just too much trouble.

As long as I'm in my own home, I don't brush my teeth until after breakfast, up to anytime until I leave the house.

My secret is that after yoga, I bow and sincerely Namaste the instructor on the screen. Then giggle at myself. But I'm just so caught up in the experience and feel so good, well why the heck not?

Oh I've done that... but mostly gob on it instead of just a lick. It's my skin and my gob, no biggie. But if DH ever saw that, he'd hurl. I don't wear one anymore so I don't have to worry about that part anymore.

I have no shame in just working out in my jammies and holding onto my boobs if the impact is too high. It's not a pretty sight.

I wear my workout clothes multiple times before washing... unless I'm leaving the house, it's just me smelling my funky clothes so who cares???

I also repeat the things workout instructors say as they are saying them if it's a workout I've done many many times.

Tooting happens. During and after. I figured it was because of all the twisting and turning I'm doing on an empty stomach since its like 5:30am or so.

I have also worked out with rollers in my hair. Old school sponge rollers. Pink and yellow ones. Makes for an interesting profile in the mirror. Well the picture hanging on the wall since I have no mirrors near me in the living room.

You're supposed to wet it.. but I guess there are many ways to do so according to this thread.

Like the not brushing teeth thing. Does that make me super gross??

Nope! Unbrushed teeth, bed head, re-used workout clothes...they're the perks of home workouts!

Apparently my husband thinks I am pretty gross...on more than one occasion, he has stepped into my workout room and said, "This whole room smells like your morning breath!" I just give him the stink eye.

That would go great with the pink onion goggles I have!

Hahaha ... I've done that, too!

I usually work out in flannel PJ bottoms & one of DH's big t-shirts if kettlebell training at home. Because the clothing is so oversized, it's not as obvious I'm not wearing anything underneath. I like feeling unrestricted. I think this is the real reason I like kettlebell training -- not having to put shoes & fitness bras on. When home alone, I've even done kettlebell training naked to make the transition to the shower smoother. lol (I do dress pretty when I walk outdoors or attend classes.)
