I would have appreciated a warning of some kind on your Tae Bo Bootcamp DVD. You know, some bit of text to let me know that I should not have gone through the entire 50 minute workout prior to being in Ironman shape.
May I suggest something to the effect of:
Warning! Attempting the hundred million squats, lunges, and kicks in this workout, at the same speed-of-light pace with the professional Tae Bo squad featured in this video may result in any or all of the following ailments:
1. The inability to squat down to the toilet without wincing and emitting a loud moan
2. The inability to walk without looking like you’ve been riding a horse for a week in the Sierra Nevadas
3. The inability to walk up stairs without the insides of your knees pulsing and your calves screaming
4. The inability to move more quickly than at a geriatric pace upon waking each morning
An additional warning that these ultimate muscle fatigue! symptoms would be much, much worse on the second day would also have been helpful. Oy vey.
And you looked so friendly in your jaunty little army cap too. I should have taken the hint when you threw it off ten minutes into the workout declaring something like, “We’ll get too fired UP to wear hats in a minute!”
When you asked how I was doing, really looking straight into my eyes in the middle of the workout, I believed that you cared. Now? I’m not so convinced. Thanks fer nuthin, Billy. As my son says, my thighs and bum hurt “awwl dee.”
