TV shows and mid-life crisis

My hubbies birthday was yesterday. He doesn’t really celebrate or care for his birthdays at all (as mentioned before). Ended up getting him a cake and that was it!

After dinner, while we were watching TV he says something about “having done his calisthenics in the morning”. “you did what now?” Apparently he decided he needs to get fitter and started doing push-ups and curls and stretches and that kind of stuff. “Good for you baby, you should of waited for me so I could spot your sit-ups”. Notice I did  not mention in any way me doing those kind of torture exercises!
It seems like a good timing to mention that my flexibility is in the lines of Sheldon's: 


I left the conversation drop, avoiding the soreness of the topic. And then TV blasts with the premiere of a new TV show called “Strong”. Thanks a bunch Sylvester Stallone and NBC! Hubbie does not watch reality tv! Or at least he claims not to. But he didn’t change the channel and started watching. At this point I starting fearing repercussions of such an exposure to exercise, effort and will.
And then the inevitable happened… He got me doing sit-ups and push-ups and stretches… And the promise that we would start doing them every day! NOOOOOO! Maybe it is a passing fancy and he forgets all about it by this afternoon… Or he won’t and I have to prepare for some more exercising non-existent muscles. Not sore today, which was a nice surprise in the morning! Not going to tell him tough, or the number of sequences and repeats will raise exponentially!


Wish me luck…
