It just so happened that the hottest workout video of the year had been released right around…

my mom’s birthday. No, my mom is not a fitness freak like me, but it is what she got from her daughter for her birthday. ;) Don’t judge, I like to think I was a resourceful kid that knew how to get what I wanted. Plus, I really thought she would enjoy it too.

I remember hearing about how horrible the exercises were for your back, so I stopped doing the video a few months after I gave it to my mom.  However, she called me at some point this past summer and told me she had started using this video again.  So, maybe it wasn’t the most selfish gift ever (yes, I advised her against using it).

Yes, even we personal trainers need a little extra motivation from time to time.

Remember Get in Shape Girl?  When you see that tittle does the theme song go through you’re head?  If you’re too young to remember it, I’m sorry you missed out.  I guess I’m one girl who’s still getting in shape.

Yes, I had the rhythmic ribbon and wish I had kept it. ;)
