Thanks for the support! I really need it to get motivated to go to the gym. I hate it so much.

I've realized it's not the actual exercising that bothers me as much as the getting changed, showering, re-doing my makeup, etc. What a pain in the tooshie.

Oh, and I put up a ticker, yay! But I lied and said I'd lost a pound, even though I've lost 0, since I felt like a tool.

Think about the shower as time to yourself. i dont remember if your hubby is here or not, but its a shower without interruptions! I have a baby and a young child and my hubby so showering at the gym is lovely me time!

So you just need to say you will go 5x per week no matter what. Do you want a butt that is droopy and big or a tight firm but you could serve drinks off of???? Go girl!

Woohoo! Ok, off to get my peaceful shower and an a$$ I can bounce quarters off of! :dance:

Has anyone heard of the Bender Ball? I got one a couple weeks ago and that thing really works the abs!

Yes, I saw the TV commercial for it. It does look good. There's a new half-ball thingie in our gym now, and I think it's for ab work, but I don't want to look like a dork trying to use it. :blush:

I love it because it doubles as a kickball for the kids. :P

This is what they have in my gym:

Anyone use it? I'm sure I could find some info online, but I'm too tired from my workout to search. :P

I have one of those too. It's great for abs and back, and a lot of other stuff.

BTW, my wife was 110lbs before pregnancy and now 114lbs only 5 weeks after giving birth. Not bad huh? I told her she better watch out, she's looking pretty good and ... :blush:

Oh good grief.

There must be something I can do with it so as to not look totally ridiculous....

It's called a Bosu Ball and my former trainer used to have me do all kinds of stuff on it - mostly squats and sort or jumpy lunges - i hated those, but they work very well. It's great for balance also.

those are great for balance. you can stand on them and lift weights while balancing on those and tightening your abs in the process. it looks easier than it is! maybe ask a trainer at your gym if they can show you a few techniques ?
