Well, I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Honestly, I know I can't keep my kids from seeing these things, and it's not that he sees them that bothers me. I'm just used to being able to work out with him around, and I've always been conscious of the message my lifestyle habits send to him. I'm not embarassed to do any other vids in front of him, and,in general, I feel that the overall message he gets in this regard is that I value exercise and fitness and think they're important. I'm proud to be an example of that for him. I just don't want him to misunderstand and think that the reason I'm doing these workouts is because I want to look "hot" or "sexy," or that I think my real value (or any woman's) is defined by her looks. It's not that I think there's something wrong with working out for aesthetic reasons (and to some extent, I care about aesthetics, too). I'm not trying to protect him from the world, per se, I'm just very conscious of the message I'm sending him about what my own values are. So far, I haven't seen any indication that he's even noticed the workouts (he usually doesn't, except for Cathe, who he thinks "does tough boy exercises"). If it weren't for my kids, I probably would have barely noticed.
I actually didn't notice the fanny slapping until DH pointed it out to me. It's funny. Chalene mentions somewhere in the series that when she gets together with her friends, they get together to exercise. Do you think they fanny slap instead of high-fiving each other? I guess it's no worse than what baseball players do!
