One of my biggest fears with backpacking around a country for a few months is losing my boyish good looks, gaining 38lbs, and becoming a slob. Well, fortunately my travel partner is as vain as I am and we both love working out.
In case you haven't heard of it, Beachbody's Insanity is basically P90x on crack. (If you watch TV for more than 10 minutes I'm sure you have seen this annoying gem of a commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMSbQnYRhao). Jumps, squats, pushups, running in place... no weights, great results.. right? Well, I've got the program videos on my computer so Ryan and I venture out to El Parque National (National Park) in the drizzle of the afternoon, cover up my laptop, and get to work.
Aside from the fact that I was wrapped up in how much this workout was destroying my body (who knew fried food for 3 meals a day was a bad thing?), I was getting a real kick out of watching the Ticos (local Costa Rican men) staring at us wondering what the heck we were doing. Now the women were still staring at us, wandering head first into park monuments, but the looks from the men were making me laugh. It didn't take me long to realize that those stares were looks of admiration than bewilderment.... "Welcome to the National 'Gay' Park of Costa Rica." You're welcome for the eye candy boys, I guess....
