My wife and I have been exercising together for over a year now. Its a very intense Bootcamp style work out with a group and a trainer that yells at us. (Okay, he doesn’t really yell, thank goodness.) I hate it. I can’t deny, though, that I need it. It helps me feel okay with eating a lot on the days I work out. Twice as much, “Because I worked out today.” Jen and I are competitive with each other about it too. In a friendly way, usually. Even though it is Melody preaching in this strip, its really MY voice coming out of her. I have given Jen the same lecture of why don’t we just “give up” and enjoy our lives- and food. But, I have to admit, I like her looking hot. She has mentioned a few times she likes it when I don’t have my tummy buddy too. So, here we are.
My only other note on this strip is that I was going to have Mark saying this (because of the above reasons) but it sounded extra mean for that punchline to come out of his mouth. I think us men expect that our wives wouldn’t mind us looking a bit better. If we think that of them, you better keep that to YOURSELF buddy! Nuff’ said!

Old World farmers were outside all day exercising for free!
Sadly, we do compete with each other…but we are still the slowest/ worst (and close to oldest) in the class!!!— Atleast we get an A for effort!
Get a push bike each. It’s cheaper and you just exercise on the way to where you’re going.
