MIL watched me workout this AM...OMG
in-laws are in town for a family party tomw and they're staying w/us for the weekend. knowing they'd be here, i made an extra effort to give them the guest room that has a solid door (another room has a folding door) so that it could be closed while they sleep and while i workout at 4 AM.
well, they were awake before i got up and i proceeded to pick out a workout (i was gonna do cathe, but i felt tired). MIL comes over to the TV and it didn't appear like she was just passing by, that she was gonna either participate or watch. so i was thinking "which tape/instructor would not be too embarrassing to do in front of her?" so i decided to do Yoga Zone Strengthen & Tone.
i set out an extra puzzle mat for her and for me and started the workout. she asked me what kinds of exercises do i do, and i said 'practically everything.' she has been going to curves and does leslie at home sometimes. after the first minute, she stopped. they had to leave to go pick up something, but i think she was blown away by the intensity of the stretching. she even said she was stiff, so i was trying to show her how to modify, but she left, so i continued with the workout. i mentioned to her that my mom took a yoga class last year.
anyway, it's the first time that someone other than my kids and DH has watched me start a workout. initially, it almost felt like someone was watching you do something very personal, like.....using the bathroom!!!!!!!
