The Lady's new Groove (LL)

I have been trying to figure out what to do for a “new” workout this week. I finally decided to really change things up and make Blest real proud of me. So, instead of scrubbing my kitchen floor for exercise, I scrubbed the bathroom floor, with both arms tied behind my back, using my feet only. It was a killer!

Just kidding. I hadn’t really planned on trying anything new because it has been so nice here this week, so I have been walking of an evening, and I lived in expectation that the Lord would see fit to continue the blessing through the weekend so I could hike and bike. Alas, the Lord has not seen fit to do things my way and it is getting chilly and windy and stormy right now, to continue through to the Lord’s Day.

What was I to do?, you may well wonder. I dug through old video tapes to see if I had any aerobic-type workouts from back in the olden days. Lo, and behold, I did! It was one Jane Fonda bootlegged 30-minute workout, as a matter of fact. The tape had some rough spots as it is some 20 years old now, but it made it through. Her chanting came flooding back in no time t’all. “Turn it, release. And again, release. Now, back, release”, “And bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce”, etc., ad nauseum.

My arms feel like jelly, and I may be scarred for life after gazing at some fluffy, feathery 80’s hair on super-tan women wearing striped leotards, but I felt the burn, as dear old Jane would say, and that counts for something, right?

  2. Oh, Bethany. It was all I had, have mercy on me. And don’t tell my dad I even still have the tape. He has had a… um.. strong dislike for her since Viet Nam.
