welcome to Houston life I'm Derrick
shore and I'm Courtney Zavala we do have
a very fun show planned for you today
all about fitness we are rowing our
little hearts out we've gotten rid of
our hosts chat table because for this
hour we're gonna work out who needs a
table no chat table these these rowing
machines they are filled with water so
we're not trying to do our laundry up
here but our friends over at busybody
they let us borrow these you know I had
asked for the ThighMaster because I
thought that would make for a really
exciting show but Courtney vetoed that
idea right no I love me a good thigh
master these are awesome so the water is
for resistance here on our row how you
feeling you know I feel good you you can
usually catch me rowing at the gym I'm a
very boring person it's a very sedentary
lifestyle I know I love rowing I do a
lot of rowing CrossFit you know what
it's great for the back and even though
this is just one motion it's actually
working a ton of different muscles so
you at home today prepared to jump up
off the couch or maybe just stay on your
couch and watch us do this exciting show
so when you row you can burn up to a
thousand calories an hour on a row
machine this is not bad well listen
while you're working out you want to
make your clothing work for you right
you know sometimes people have these gym
woes like their leggings they fall down
maybe their clothes start to stink well
today we've got some Fitness fashion
solutions to help with some very common
problems folks you are not alone from
clothing that helps reduce body odor to
those leggings that won't fall down very
simple solutions plus if you are a new
mom you know how hard it can be to jump
back onto that workout wagon we're gonna
have a postnatal exercise to help you
moms get back on track with the fitness
okay so thinking of some different types
of workouts is really happening
okay listen I'm gonna stop rowing for a
minute because I want to talk about some
some different types of workouts this is
awesome I know we're working normally so
I guess in Australia
they do a workout that's called zoo this
is interval training and it's based on
animal movements so you and I we did
that goat yoga one time this is not
involving animals but I guess that guy
is doing what is that what oh that's
like down dog well let's see squatting
scrambling its slithering around like a
wild animal think bear crawl gorilla and
frog squats okay you know what that
looks like a really good workout out
there crawls are a lot harder than you
think they are and I will tell you
you're probably gonna get your heart
rate up a little bit more than the goat
yoga the goat yoga all I did was laugh
and cry oh my gosh and I go tried to
bite your necklace oh my gosh lose my
mind we did lose our mind you're just
forgetting that well drop in deuces all
over the set all over remember in the
mall they were running a rate was raised
he came back from commercial break and
it was literally like cue the goats
number one number two I'm all over our
set it was a disaster okay moving on to
some Polynesian dances this is a really
interesting exercise it's called hot
hula it's I guess exactly as it sounds
it's like hot yoga but your hula dancing
you know like hula is all about the hips
it's like hot baby doll I don't know I
haven't done it but based on what I'm
reading here on my Cardinal an Asian
island dances and it can strengthen the
glutes the quads the abs so like belly
dancing kind of like when that bee can't
you know that got kind of popular for a
minute hot minute no it did belly
dancing how did you take a belly dancing
class oh you know I'm Greek so we do a
lot of belly dancing okay well okay
maybe sometime you can do a segment
about it on the show um how about dog
yoga also known as Doga so they say that
this is a new trend for dog owners you
can get in touch with your body through
breathing I don't know I mean none of
this is gonna get my heart rate up I
don't know and then one last one we got
to talk about backwards running they say
that if you you know a lot of times
runners have issues with their joints
like they have knee problems but they
say that if you run backwards it's
actually easier for you on your joints
why not just stop running listen I took
a CrossFit class once where I was run
backwards on a treadmill and I almost
fell off okay that's the problem first
of all that Coach should be but why are
you running backwards on a treadmill I
don't know is dangerous I didn't fall
off but I did puke
I can imagine now see backwards lunging
and things like that
I think obviously has their benefits has
their benefits to doing that because
it's changing the way that you normally
do something but like backwards right is
this like on a track what if there's a
car coming or like what if there's a
curb why so judgemental and the paranoid
if there's a car just the mood I'm in -
oh you like jogging backwards through
the name backwards running where I mean
like no in a controlled like on a
treadmill Courtney I don't think people
are running backwards no I don't think
that's anything that's the case very
danger I think I tried knows worse okay
I if you see some lady running through
the neighborhood backwards help her
it's how Courtney it's not me it's you
you're like I misunderstood the
assignment
