Ready for this week’s heaving, throbbing workout? Grab your purplest of purple prose, because it’s time for Romance Novel Reader Workout #15! Purple prose is most often found in older historical romances with fuchsia and teal on the covers, and possibly a foil hologram at the top. Or some mullets – those, too.
Like the previous workouts, can do all these exercises with a mat and your own bodyweight. No additional weights are needed unless you want to use some.
Standard disclaimers still apply: although I play one on tv, I’m not a physician. I can recommend books to read but I can’t discern your state of health or your physical limitations so by all means work hard but be kind to yourself. To put it another way, ask your doctor before beginning any exercise regimen.
I will tell you that you should drink water and read books, but that’s kind of common sense, right? Right.
And yes! By reader request, I have a convenient PDF of all 16 workouts so far. Each page has two images on it, and the PDF is 1.6MB in size. You are welcome to print and distribute the workouts, give them as gifts, or use them as bookmarks.

And now, Romance Novel Reader Workout, Part XV, in graphic form suitable for pinning, sharing, printing, and pointing at!
If you have questions or suggestions for future workouts, please share, either in the comments or via email.
And remember the immortal warrior cry of the working out! Unless you faint, puke, or die, KEEP READING! AND BREATHING!
Have you used never gotten so hard so fast yet? I spotted it in 3 books in the last week.
I love those !!!! I actually came across, what was it again, velvet-covered steel ? this weekend, in a wonderful book; wonders never cease, do they ! And I bought the Beverly Jenkins book, at last one was on sale in Canada ! Thanks !
@ Peggy—seen that a few times lately, too. And then it keeps growing!
Haven’t seen any heaving manroots in a long time, well, in books.
