I feel the prettiest when...

I've just had a good sweat fest w/ Cathe! Not when I'm dressed up, had my hair done ... when my face is beet red, my hair is dripping and my clothes are soaked!! Just finished Drill Max. Don't think the smell to others matches how great I feel :) I'm sure I'm alone on this forum!
 
Me too!!! At least I'm not alone. I can look at myself in the mirror after a good workout, all red faced, sweaty, scraggly haired and think "I am some smokin' hot stuff!!!" Silly, but true. A good workout gets those endorphins flowing and then the feeling of accomplishment. Smokin'!!!

Oh, me too!! When I am sweaty and can see my muscles bursting! Love my body after a great workout!! Much better than I when I am sucked into a skirt!! LOL
 
Oh...me too! Amazing, huh? And when I go out, I almost always get a workout in just before, shower and have a *glow* and great energy for the evening!
 
I don't feel the prettiest when I work out - I'm one of those beet red-faced people who look like they are having a heart attack with the sweat flowing, not dripping, down their body even though my heart rate monitor will only say 110 bpm:p!

But, I do feel the most "alive" when I am in that mode.
 
I don't know about pretty, but I love that thought that goes on in my head after I've done a Cathe workout and my muscle are pumped and my heart feels strong, . . almost that nanee, nanee pooh pooh, . . .I'm stronger, . .and can out push up all of my kids friends Moms. I guess that is kinda stuck up, . . .hmmm maybe I should of kept that to myself. :)
 
:D I'm not alone!!!! YIPPEE!!! I LOVE the sweaty, wet look!!! I usually go out for my newspaper after my workout (which is early and the sun has just come up) JUST IN CASE Mr. Right is driving by! LOL Plus, it makes BFF jealous that I'm already done with today's workout (she lives across the street). lol

I am just post a long, slow 2 hour workout (legs, abs, hitt) and I feel GORGEOUS. Sweaty, pumped, smelly and lean....woooo! :D
 
I look like a nightmare after a workout! My face is splotchy red all over, my clothes are sagging with sweat, and my hair is soooo frizzy that it looks like Pig Pen's dust cloud! No, not too attractive or sexy! I prefer the after the workouts look when I put that fitted dress on and I look tiny and fit and muscular!
 
YES!! The muscle thing! That's what I noticed today. I've been slacking this summer and kind of beating myself up, but then today, w/ all that sweat, my muscles were really showing. Even w/ a sport bra on, rolled up shorts and post 3 baby pregnancy pooch, I thought - "damn, not bad!!" Rock on ladies!!

P.s. - if I read one more thing in these "celebrity" magazines about not lifting more than 5 lbs and doing high reps I'm gonna loose it. With STS I lost a total of 6 inches. Women NEED to lift decent sized weights to look better as we age!!
 
I'd have to say immediately following intimate time with DH. In fact, that's what we do before going someplace fancy--or even to a friend's place for dinner. Take a shower, do the hair and makeup, jump into bed, jump out of bed, get dressed and go out. ;)
 
I am TOTALLY there with you!!! I even posted a picture of myself right about a cathe workout! sweat soaked shirt and a beat red face!!! LOVE IT!:eek:

Your so funny!!! I'm so jealous!!

Yes I feel good after a good sweaty workout, red face, red eyes, my pony tail is dripping. Some times I have to jump in the shower right away and even after the shower my heart still bumping and I still sweating after all.. I told my daughter did you put the heater?
