My husband makes me laugh on a regular basis. He's a pretty funny guy. He likes to keep it light around here as much as possible.
He joined the masses last weekend when he jumped on the P90X train in an effort to get F-I-T. Apparently it's all the rage. Kinda like what TaeBo was 8 or 10 years ago. The program offers a variety of workouts that you do along with a DVD. One day you do chest and legs, the next it might be plyometrics and the next arms and back. There are several DVD's that accompany the program in addition to a strict nutrition plan.
Back to the laughing part. Last Thursday night, Britton pulled out the DVD for the day.... yoga. We knew it was coming, but had no idea just what it would entail. For him, yoga should be mostly sitting, breathing, stretching and maybe a few "o-mms".
Well, P90X yoga is NOT that. It's yoga on crack. It's the fastest paced, bendiest, craziest thing I've ever seen.
And, please note, as naturally athletic as Britton is, he is (and always has been) about as flexible as a steel rod.
Watching him get through this 1 hour and 20 minute workout, I laughed until my stomach hurt. 'Til giant tears streamed down my face. 'Til we feared I'd wake the children. Then I remembered to get out the cameras so I could share some of the madness with you.
Welcome to the L.D. yoga class...
What do they call this? Downward Dog or something?
Hon, I believe they want you to touch your toes on this one....
That's literally as far as he can go!
No problems reaching up, though...
Yoga makes a man sleepy.
This stuff is the warm up...
And reach!
Again, it's the toes they're going for...
He just had some trouble getting his body to do what they were asking of him.
That's the face of... "that was just the warm up?!"
I look forward to showing you his progress. He's committed to the program. He's been faithful to the workouts and passed on homemade ice cream TWICE over the weekend. That's a pretty serious move for Mr. Buss.
PS - If you're wondering "where's the footage of the really hard, fast-paced stuff?". I didn't get it. I was too busy rolling around on the floor in hysterics.
PSS - If you'd like to laugh as hard as we did, and become as F-I-T as Britton is going to be, visit:

Ooooh, hehe, it was as good as I'd hoped.
Oh my goodness. This makes me wish I could be there when Jeff, Brad, and Chris all do it. I might die from laughing so hard. I think I might have to come stay with y'all soon lol.

LOVE IT.
My Dad and sister are doing P90X religiously... and are looking pretty good as proof that it's working! I plan on starting it after Ellie arrives... and Ben leaves for the deployment so that the only people who can laugh at me are little ones who can't take pictures or really even talk. :)
Way to go Britton!!
OMG!!!! I haven't laughed that hard in a few days...
Good stuff Britton and Faith!
