Exercise critics

Hannah and Naomi have appreciated the pregnancy exercise DVDs I’ve been doing.  Hannah likes to compare and contrast:  “I like this one better because it has more people.  The other one has just one.  But look at the room she’s in.  It’s not nice like the other one.  And the music isn’t as good.”  Most of Hannah’s critiques are aesthetic. 

Naomi likes to do the exercises with me.  Then she likes to make up her own exercise routines, complete with descriptions of what she’s doing and how to do it yourself, just like the women in the video.  I would add a caveat about this:  Naomi’s exercises are not always appropriate for pregnant women.  In fact, they’re not always appropriate for anyone whose flexibility doesn’t approach that of an active 5-year-old girl.  But it is pretty cute to watch her.

Neither girl approved of the woman who had a bikini top as part of her outfit.

Hannah:  She didn’t dress very well for this video.

Naomi:  Maybe she didn’t know anyone would be taking a video of her.
