Feel the burn


One of the highlights of my brief trip back to the land of milk and honey was working out with my Mom and my Sister. Because me and my Sister are addicted/hooked/in-love with itrain we decided that we would all show up at the gym together, with our ipods and press start at the same time. It was pretty awesome. We did an interval training set that had us on and off the treadmill or elliptical trainer a lot. Because no one could hear the trainer (after all, we were just listening to our ipods) I know that we seriously looked crazy. We did get some weird looks--people were polite enough to not stare.
Here we were, three women getting on and off the treadmill and then doing jumping jacks or push-ups or ball lunges in unison. We seriously looked like Jane Fonda and the rest of her exercise entourage.

tell me about these itrains. . .I'm seriously interested. I clicked on the link but didn't see any excercise training info. Let me know. Tiff

Ooooh Tiff--you win the prize for alert reader award--I erroneously put itrains.com instead of itrain.com. The itrains link led you to a really great link . . . all about trains. I mean I love trains and all things about the railroad but now I have the right link set up. Check it out and then we can discuss. The best deal is to buy a monthly package where you can get 6 different workouts for (I think) $15 bucks. So much cheaper than a trainer!

I just have one question: Who is the girl in the back with her leg at her ears? That is unnatural.

k T, I'm all over the itrain thing. I downloaded one to see if I like it. So glad you introduced me to this new phenomenon. Where have I been? Obviously NOT on the itrain.

I just have a couple of comments:
1) Abby has an eye like a hawk spotting that bendy pretzel girl in the background.
2) Kitty will soon be sporting washboard abs like mine* if she keeps up with the itraining.
(* Yes, I have washboard abs. Perhaps only in the world I have imagined in my own mind, but I have them nonetheless.)

Tiff--way to get on the train. I swear I wish itrain had a pyramid scheme set up and I could totally make money off of the fact that they are awesome and I recommend them to everyone. And just a sidenote--the toddcat does not have washboard abs.

Todd said...

Kitty, you don't know what the ToddCat has since you never come visit me.

Abby said...

Todd, I applaud your washboard abs. In the world I've imagined in my mind, I have long, gorgeous, auburn curls and a figure like Jessica Alba. (Hopefully, the world of your imagination is not as far off from reality as mine. I'm referring to the hair, naturally.)

Oh my goodness--that photo totally takes me back. I can even hear Jane's instructions. I think you need to find a little Charlene Prickett just to balance it out.

Todd said...

Oh Abby, our fantasy world is luck to have people as beautiful as we are. We should probably start modeling together.

Todd, done and done. Just give my people the where and when.
