He came down this morning in his workout clothes - and four year old cross-trainers that still look brand new

-and said "I thought I'd try this Cardio Coach thing you've been talking about." He is on the elliptical as I type. It's truly a Christmas miracle! :D

LOL, Sparrow! Miracles happen every day. :D Today will be two miracle day, my DH actually will be taking two of the dogs for a run today with - guess what - Cardio Coach. How cool is that.

So how is your DH doing so far, did you peek in ?
 
WOO HOO!! My DH recently started doing CC on our elliptical, too. I was in the next room one day when he was doing V1 and I could hear him doing the countdown. It totally cracked me up. :D

ETA Okay Carola and Sparrow -- I'll be waiting for a full report post workout. :D
 
He really liked it!! I was doing yoga in the same room - our first couple's workout, how sweet - and keeping an ear on the huffing and puffing. :D When he was done he asked me if I could load the CDs onto his ipod (he was using mine) so I guess that is a good sign...let's see if it happens again, I am cautiously optimistic!

Funny though, I never do the CC stretches, I prefer my own. So at one point I turned around and DH was standing there with his arm extended in front and a really intense look on his face. I thought "OMG he's having a heart attack!" Then I realized he was just stretching, lol.

OK Carola, how did your DH do??
 
Hello,

Just wanted to chime in and say my DH did CC on the treadmill for the first time yesterday. He plans on doing it again. It must be the season. But then again, who wouldn't love CC. :)
 
I do the stretches with Vols 7 and 8. After the stretch, Sean leaves you with some soft music and the sound of the ocean. Those tracks are so relaxing they've actually put me to sleep before.

ETA that one evening after I had just finished V7 with the stretch, I was lying on the floor with my eyes closed listening to that last bit. I was just about asleep when I heard "MICHELE!", MICHELE!, MICHELE!". DH had come into the room and saw me lying there very still and with my eyes closed and, I don't know, I guess he thought I had a heart attack or something. Talk about a jolt back into reality! LOL!!

How cool that your DHs do CC! My sister's DH loves to use them on the treadmill, but on the rare occasion that mine gets on our elliptical he won't try it. :(

LOL at Sparrow's DH looking funny during the stretch. I always skip the CC stretch too!
 
Sparrow, that's hilarious for me, partly because I originally bought cc just for my DH -- never thought I would use it, but he never has, and of course now I love it. My husband thinks working out is useless unless it accomplishes something, like chopping wood, cutting down trees, planing boards, chasing chickens. I don't know if there's any miracle in my future.... :)

Michele... :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband resisted CC for a while, which is his natural reaction to anything I suggest. And as usual, he eventually tried it and ended up liking it. :rolleyes: I think the fact that our 13 year old uses my CCs pushed him a little too.

Beth I think we are married to the same man!! He's always said he gets enough exercise through splitting wood, building coops, and hauling manure for my garden. Too funny! I have no idea what came over him this morning but it was odd to see him in trainers! I'm used to his feet in work boots! :D
 
Woo Hoo Ladies!!

That is awesome. I'm still working on my DH but all he wants to do is lift weights. He takes the dog for a walk but its too leisurely to count as cardio IMHO. I'm going to brag about your guys to him and see if it sinks in:rolleyes:

My DH LOVES CCPP on the spin bike at the gym. He always tells me that the days he works hardest are the days he does CCPP. He just absolutely love it.
 
Wow! I am so jealous that you have some DHs doing CC :D I try to get my DH to workout with me, but he just grins at me, not sure why!? :rolleyes:

Maybe someday I'll get a miracle ;)
 
So... it's completely normal for men to resist ANYTHING you suggest until someday they think it is magically their own original idea and finally give it a shot?

Ok. At least I know it's not just mine. :p :D
