I know many wives are dreading this time of the year but don't fret. It doesn't have to be the pits. You can survive this with a little modification of your thoughts!

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Patience
• Compassion
• Friends
• Perseverance
• A little cash wouldn't hurt

1. Step 1

First understand it's usually a man thing. You can't change it. It's just one of those things. It happens every four years! It doesn't get any better. Just learn to accept they are just doing what comes naturally. Don't sulk, it will be alright. It's OK for your mate to have some space. I'm sure he has earned it! Why not come into Flex and have a work out?! Give yourself some quality time too! Exercise with a friend so that you can catch up on that treadmill!

2. Step 2

1st week: GET MOVING! Clean out the closets and give the oldies to a charitable organisation. Be nice...prepare snacks and drinks for the boys just before you head out for some retail therapy in those deserted SHOPS!

3. Step 3

2nd week: Take our exhilarating Zumba class and then afterwards, catch up with some old friends over a crushed ice drink at the local café bar!

4. Step 4

3rd week: Step into our HOUR OF POWER class on a Sunday – to really score high on your exercise agenda! Invigorating and by the time you get home you may be more tolerant of the noise that has reached fever pitch in the lounge!

5. Step 5

4th week: Try a new healthy recipe and invite your friends over while the guys are having a ball in the family room!

6. Step 6

5th week: Plan for a spa day and pamper yourself. Get your nails and hair done. Don't worry, be happy! Order pizza and wings for the fellows that will be joining your hubby and tell him you need EXTRA TIME!

7. Step 7

If you can’t beat them – join em! Plan on watching at least one game with him to show willing, invite your friends, organise a BBQ, prepare some snacks and drinks for the party and enjoy the camaraderie catch-up with your friends!

PS - If you are a guy reading this and it's your other half that is the footy fanatic babe, then see if you can get out to Flex for a full workout while they are flexing their vocal chords and shouting at the LCD screen! You just might get some peace and quiet away from it all! Bring your newspaper for a relaxing read after the workout in our lounge area!
