I don’t have hand weights, either. Must buy some. Last time I used one can of pineapple (20 ounces!) and one can of enchilada sauce (also 20 ounces). I was really hungry throughtout the entire workout.

OOOoooh, thanks for the tip that the Shred is On Demand! What a perfect way to try it and not have to spend $$$ for yet another workout DVD that I don’t use. I love that you are using soup cans. I know it will kick my butt but Lord knows I have to start doing SOMETHING.

Another lemming here to line up! I have the Twilight series on my list and The Shred sounds awesome…definitely have to check my On Demand tomorrow. I remember exercising with mine, we used to do the Jane Fonda workout, now he runs me ragged when we workout together. The sit ups were hilarious but once I was trying to do wall sits and he came and jumped on my lap…the pain was instant and brutal.
Bug is a little pusher…kids want nothing more than to share their snacks. But, really, the ‘Mommy, can you say yes’ is wonderful! That is just such a great statement! I want to try that on my husband and everyone else…

I had heard about this 30 day shred, but really, if I had time each day to work out, I wouldn’t need the 30 day shred! Good for you for doing it and telling it like it is. I have two climbing all over me while I try to work out, which just leads me to a car ride so I feel free once again.

I thought I was the only person who used soup cans to work out with! I tried a yoga dvd when Emily was much younger and she was all over me. She also had running commentary and kept trying to manipulate my body into different positions with her hands. That was when she wasn’t nose to nose with me saying, “Mama why are you on the floor?????” I was laughing so hard I couldn’t get through the workout.

I haven’t attempted a workout in quite a while. Which is VERY obvious. Maybe I should do it again, just for the comedic affect alone.

I think your workout with BB picture is so cute.

I just love Bug’s sports bra.

I am attempting to do the shred with my two year old and 6 month old–its a funny sight. I am using baked bean cans :)

Noah is not a fan of the Postnatal Rescue Workout DVD. At least he can’t tempt me with his snacks.
Plus, it’s WAY too hot to excercise. And I’m sick. And I’m totally going to start tomorrow. No, wait. Monday. Monday will be perfect.

The photo of you and Bug is so cute! I went through the same thing when my kids were little. My two youngest wanted to exercise with me, but it usually ended up that I would not be able to get any exercise done with my two partners. I would get annoyed and quit early every time. I found that one thing they loved to do was kick boxing! I got a Denise Austin kick boxing video and as long as nobody was too close to each other, it worked out pretty well. Good luck!

Good for you for doing the shred! Emily likes to “work out” with me too. She actually tries to do the crunches and stuff – it’s hard for me not to laugh :)
