Crazy ~ Embarrassed to exercise in the living room in front

i know what you mean! i had to move my elliptical to the back of the house and i get mad everytime my fiance watches me. at the gym i wear black shirts on purpose so people dont notice me sweating as much.

I'm so glad I found this thread. I just got into a big fight with my boyfriend because he wouldn't leave the living room so I could do P90X. It's hard enough without feeling a pair of eyes at my back. I get embarrassed and distracted, and I don't give it my all. He says that I'm spoiled and I need to get over it, and I say I need his respect. He apparently thinks he's helping me by trying to force me into it. I think he's being a big jerk.
Survey says ______?______

Survey says.. why the hell does he want to stay in the living room and watch you work out??

Can't he go into a different room to play on his PC or something??

I used to have a problem with it but then my kids wanted to join in with me and now they do their "workout" right along side me. We get to spend time together which is great and they see their mom being healthy.

Hopefully you get it worked out. Hugs!

I think the only reason (although it doesn't really stop me) I don't want to work out in front of my hubby is because I'm afraid I will do the exercises wrong. :laugh: My oldest child enjoys working out beside me - he's too young to really do anything but like this poster mentioned, it's great for kids to see you be healthy. I love how interested my child is in this!

I love getting my sweat on at home and at the gym.. I think a lot to do with the whole fear in your home is because most of the time the folks in the gym are working out too (and not talking to you).

My boyfriend sits like 3 feet away from me whlie I exercise to DVDs in the living room. I don't care.
He hits pause on the DVD for me if I take a break... he looks up and helps me keep proper form.
Oh and we have a squirt bottle for the cat, the he squirts me if I ask if I get too hot. LOL.

My kids love to join me during the 30 Day Shred. My husband enjoys watching the "hip circles". I prefer to workout in peace, but I guess the extra company has just grown on me.....it doesn't bother me like it used to.
