Even after all these years I still workout regularly. I’m definitely of the “old school, no pain no gain” heavy weights and cardio method. Which for me now goes back almost 25 years. It worked well for me when I played football and it’s working well for me now as I continue through my 30’s.
I go to Anytime Fitness in Zionsville maybe 3x a week. I like to go late at night because I usually get the place to myself. Sometimes there’s a few other “night owls” who come in to do the treadmill or lift light weights. There are some “crossfitters” as well but they usually have scheduled times during the day.
Anyway the gym has flat screen TV’s all over. Usually playing ESPN, old movies, news, or replays of Colts games. Sometimes they play “infomercials.”
Last night they had an infomercial for something called “PiYo.” I had never heard of it before but its spokeswoman (and creator as I would later learn) was an incredibly fit very perky blonde. I’m not much into this stuff but she sure got my attention. She had an upbeat personality almost to the point where I could see how some might find it annoying but I really liked her positive attitude.
She clearly was not a “19 year old fitness model” (although I thought she looked great
) and that made me even more interested in her. I would have guessed she was at least my age or older.
I took some time out to watch the ad (OK, actually her…) then resumed my workout. When I got back home early this morning I looked up “PiYo.”
Her name is Chalene Johnson and she was born in 1969 which makes her 50. Damn. They should put
her in those stupid “Born before 1985” ads instead of all those 80 year old men. Who knows, I might even join the “AARP.”
I learned more about PiYo but also learned that Chalene is married.
But then so am I. Sigh…
Anyway here’s a few pictures of Chalene. Does PiYo work? Probably. Any exercise program will if you stick with it. But I was looking mostly at the
last picture. I was thinking that I’d have to get
underneath her to really find out.
If she ever wants to visit Zionsville, it's a date.
