    Blowdrying? How do you get past the washing part?? I wash mine upside down (bend from the waist so I don't have to lift my arms...)

    Seriously lol After my first two workouts, I got my boyfriend to wash my hair because I couldn't raise my arms haha

    Hrm.... I guess I didn't work hard enough since washing wasn't a problem... That'll be my goal for next time.

    I have to have my husband remove my bra for me after a really good work out. Forget blow drying the hair! I don't even try to stand for the shower; just run a bath. Water goes cold long before I find the strength to lift myself back out of the water.

    If I can still move the next morning when I first wake up, I know I didn't do a full workout!

    Totally agree :embarassed:

    Trying to get dressed after Bikram yoga is a similar experience.. getting your wet clothes off after the session is a particular challenge!

    Agreed! I think taking off your sports bra is the worst of it though! I feel so weak and helpless trying to pull it up over my head. :embarassed: Sometimes I think "Maybe I should just pull down the straps and push it down from my chest to my feet" :laugh:

    I just go for a drive and stick my head out the window.

    Just kidding. I just let it air dry in the house.

    Haha, this is awesome! I just started P90X last week and I spent my entire weekend hobbling around like an old woman after my legs workout on Friday.

    One time I offered to mow the lawn. Well the lawn mower was broken, so I pulled out the trusty weedeater. How hard can it be?

    I weedeated front and back and it looked great.

    About 1/2 hour later I went to push myself off the couch and couldn't. Not an ounce of energy left in my arms. Killer workout indeed!! :laugh:
