I really wish you could have seen it…

and at the same time, I’m really glad you couldn’t.

This morning Seth grabbed a pair of shorts out of his drawer and slipped them on in the dark.  I heard a confused “What the…” and then the light flicked on and my 6-foot tall husband was standing in front of me wearing a pair of my 13-year old daughter’s gym shorts.  I think you can imagine what that looked like if you try really hard.  Let’s just say there was a lot of butt -and nutt-huggin’ going on.   I may get him to do that every morning because waking up to a good laugh put me in a great mood for the rest of the morning!  I may have to run this by Kristen, though, since I may have told her that he wore her shorts commando and then put them back in her drawer.  I think she knew I was kidding. 

As I was doing my morning internet browsing, I came across something called Tabata.  According to this article, it’s a 4-minute miracle workout.  The method is this:  pick a cardio workout and then go as hard as you can for 20 seconds, then slow it down for 10 seconds, and repeat the process 7 times.  I’m intrigued.  As you know, I’m not a distance runner so this appeals to me pretty hardcore and I think I may have to give it a try.  The author of the piece claims that 2 Tabatas a week caused her to shed 7% body fat in a single month!  SOLD!

Anyone ever heard of or tried Tabata?

  1. There is absolutely nothing worse than to wake up, and try to dress in the dark only to find that your kids’ clothes somehow got into your dresser. My 300lb ass got stuck in a pair of underwear that my 8 year old had outgrown. They didn’t even reach the junk, stopped about mid-thigh and I was hopping around cussing. I don’t recommend this to anyone for any reason.

  2. I told you about Tabata, woman! It is amazing. Most people do four Tabata rounds for a total of 16 minutes, and Zuzana incorporates it (or the same premise) into a lot of her routines. The trick is really pushing to maximum intensity for each burst of activity.

Whatcha' think about that?
