Learning About Lunges

Um.

Someone forgot to tell me how much of a biatch my legs were going to hurt after 2 days of lunges.
I can hardly walk. I grunt as I stand up and sit down. Stairs? Oh shiz.

3 of my students today asked if I got hurt over the weekend...and I couldnt lie, what with all the preaching I do to them about being healthy and active.
So...I explained that I'd been exercising my muscles. They asked "how?" I showed them. And we commenced to lunge around the classroom, the braver souls carrying bottles of paint as hand weights.
Some of my kids were decent lungers...othera looked like wet noodles, flopping all over.
I really wish I'd had my camera.
It was mildly rediculous/very funny, and I have no clue what I would have said if my principal had walked in.

What would you have said?
