So much for sit-ups! LOL

[Chiefsmom]

Okay... so those of you who have been reading/posting in the diet thread in the chit-chat forum know that I have been working on ways to lose weight. Well.... I learned sit-ups aren't the easiest exercise with a boxer around. Every time I'm down flat, Chief tries to sit on my head! Does anyone else have this problem! I think I need to dig the ab lounge back out of the basement! Or maybe he's just trying to be my trainer, "mama... you need more resistance"!

I totally have this problem. It's not just sit ups though, it's ALL exercise! I have a degree in Physical Education, so as you can imagine I like to do alot of active things at home. Koda and now Miya cannot stand it. They have to somehow be involved at all times when I try to work out. Now if I really have to get a workout in at home I have to lock them outside for a while just so I can do it.

Yes! Didn't you know...when you are on the floor you belong to them

Yup, Hurricane seems to feel that he has to be on top of me or be licking me while I attempt to do sit ups/crunches. Its a fun new game... tongue sniper! I swear i don't know how he manages, but yeah. He hates it when i am on the elliptical trainer too... he will stand just close enough that the arm hits him in the head on the forward swing... not hard or anything, but it will touch him, and he gives me this pitiful look like "mom what are you doing up there when you could be down here cuddling with me???"

Waldo does the same thing,though not with floor exercises.
Ever seen a boxer get a nose full when Mum was trying to wax her legs,it's very sticky stuff for Mr Waldo

UGH! situps...YUCK! :( And I cannot be on the floor either cause of lick attacks or even worse the HUMPING!

Oh yeah...this happened to me the other night, excpt I get tons of slobbery kisses. How can I concentrate like that???? Also, when I do lunges of course they have to follow and run circles around me the entire time

 

[RoxiesEcho]

Situps aren't done at my house but I've learned not to try to get toys out from underneath the couch if Bella's in the room!

 

[Roscoesmommy]

That's so funny because I have the same problem. I have yoga videos that I like to do, but try doing them with two boxers running around. You get knocked over and stepped on. When I try to do cruches on the floor Roscoe just stands over me and whines. I have given up on doing exercises on the floor.

Rocky is also like this with any kind of exercise. I can ride my bike on the trainer (like a stationary bike) and use the home gym unless he's in a really playful mood, I just have to make sure he doesn't get too close. He just gets frustrated, sighs as loudly as he can muster and lies down looking pitiful. Now try sit-ups, push-ups, etc. and he's all over me... I've accidently elbowed him in the head numerous times trying to get some sit-ups in
