The worst thing about working out
21 Jun
My grandmother believed that Southern Ladies do not sweat. They glow. I used to tell people that I liked doing Pilate’s because it was low impact and I didn’t sweat.
Unfortunately, that is no longer true. You see, a physically fit person sweats more than an unfit person. My brother the personal trainer said that it’s because your body is able to cool itself more effectively.
That’s the worst thing about working out. I don’t mind being sore. I don’t even mind the pain while working out. Sweat is just gross. I do not like it. The pros of exercising out weigh the cons. But, man, I hate it when I glow!
When I started Pilate’s, I didn’t sweat. Now, I’m in pretty good shape, and I glow when I exercise. Or vacuum upstairs. Actually, now I even glow when I’m hot.
Don’t tell my brother this, but last summer I didn’t sweat, even when I got in a hot car in Dallas in the middle of July while wearing dress clothes. I mean, I wore deoderant and everything, but now I actually need to.
Here’s to all you glowing Southern women out there.
Love,
A Young Wife
