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'!!!

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
!
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.

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). lolGayle

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.
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?
