chapter three: shake and pop

i have always been suspicious, but from this morning on, i knew without a doubt that me and my AM routine are not on the same page. we aren't even in the same book. mathematical calculation would suggest i'd have more than enough time, but i always end up sprinting out the door. luckily, i've developed a serious crush on my concierge this year. he presses the button to let me out at just the right time. he says he's got nothing better to do, i say he needs to find himself a bird.

so i make it in one piece for my 7am EJ Strive, with just enough time to change the duds into workout gear: day three. after i took a good long look in the mirror at the two accessories attached to my upper torso, i decided i'd deal with them later. strapped in, day three commences. todays theme: shake and pop. it's a good thing i rarely operate at anything less than 4th gear, because today was a lot of bouncing. i think people see me as a real wind-up toy, they're just waiting for my batteries to die or for me to blow a gasket. i don't think i even have a gasket. there are two things i'm thankful for today, lots of energy and a damn good sports bra. amen.

it was nice being back to the good ol' fashioned Strive class, i've missed it so this week. partnered up with my home girl T Smith and powered through the first phase, swapping between cardio and kinesis. through the second round we lowered our weights and increased core stability. aka, suck in your gut-gut, stick out your butt-butt, and lift ya leg up, lift ya leg up. third round we were hinging, which is a ghetto booty gunnin' for anyone not kinetically inclined, savvy? "stick out your butt like you're dancing at fortune." ooooooh, like thaaaaat. why didn't you say so. wrap up with some plank. at that point i'd rather walk the plank, but pirates rules say: take what you can, give nothing back. so, i took everything and gave up nothing. fun bobby and er bear rocked the show.

so here's a clothing update: make sure you have yourself an exquisite supporting bra for classes where you jump more than you breathe. if not, you'll look like a complete basket case, and that's obnoxious so knock it off.
