This post is a discussion of why using exercise dvds are a cheap way to work out. As some of my regular readers know, I workout exclusively with exercise dvds at home. I generally do not count my bowling nights, walks at breaks, and walks around the neighborhood as my daily exercise quota. These activities always involve other people.

The thing about having a goal like “staying fit to have a healthy baby” is so wishy-washy. The best time to lose any excess weight is before getting pregnant. So lately I have taken “staying fit to have a healthy baby” as my workout mantra.
