When Get Fit is Over...

I've decided to pursue dance fitness classes at the YMCA over the summer. I have always enjoyed dancing and I would love to pursue this over the summer. I've decided to take Zumba because thats my jam and it makes me feel like a party animal instead of a weight trainer. These classes are drop-in so I don't have to pay and the location is right by my house so I can potentially walk there during the summer. I chose the activity that I did because I love dancing and I feel like I'm good at it. I also want to meet new people and this will help me do so. I feel like I will actually do this as long as work does not keep me too busy.

The time I tried launching an attack: Capture the Flag

We recently played capture the flag outside on a beautiful day. This brought me back to 2011 when I was a fetus and we used to rejoice in this game. Theonly difference  between the game that we played and the game that we played in elementary was that there was no jail in the high school version apparently. Still I was excited because of the emotional attachment to this game. First I was on the pinni side of the game but I got switched over to the shirts side later on. Me and some people from the other team tried to launch attacks on the other team to distract them so we can get their footballs. I ran all the way until the end of the field and continued running because on of my ram members had reached the targeted area but was surrounded by U-Boats. I was screaming the persons name to pass me the ball but it was so late. It was so funny.

The time I basically ran the Sun Run, sort of: Running On the Lower Field

A few centuries ago we ran outside for PE. I decided to buddy up with someone so we can run together. When we were running for 3 minutes I just kept pushing through the pain and discomfort. Then I would completely rest during the 2 minutes of walking. I ran all 7 laps for a total of like 21ish minutes of straight up running. It's like 6km or something like what I feel like a vehicle! I was very proud of myself for having had run an actual distance! It was invigorating!

The time I got hot and had to change: Cardio, Core and Strength

On Friday we did this thin which was a combination of cardio, core and strength. Our group had 4 people so me and Yogita decided to go together. We had to weight sets, a light set and a heavier set. I decided to try and alternate between weights so that it would be a fair workout for both of us. My favorite thing would have to be core because I'm good at it, I like to feel the burn. During cardio I ran and incorporated dance moves for my enjoyment and because I like to pretend that life is a broadway show (or Bollywood movie). I suck most at weight lifting, someday I hope I will like it more but I never enjoy it for some reason. I hope I can change that. I kind of tolerate it which isn't fun. Overall I felt good and disgusting to the point where I had to change my shirt because I was a human oven. Good times.

The time it was a good day: Locomotion

Last fitness we did locomotion in the gym. I liked how the senior classes had their own sides so there was not much rush and we don't end up bumping into each other. I have stated this before, I love locomotion with a passion. I don't know if its the music, the witty name (locomotion is how animals move in biology and in PE it is us moving in different ways) or the hilarious movements we do. It gets this girl going. I feel like a majestic ballerina or something while skipping across the floor. The whole time I was fighting to continue going throughout the whole time. I did the movements for the whole time periods. After I was drenched in sweat and my face was throbbing. I was thinking mentally to myself in 

Ice Cube's  voice "Today was a good day".

The time I was Baba Ramdev (a famous yoga dude): Sunlight Yoga

Last we Thursday we did yoga in the gleaming sunlight was on our bodies and it felt amazing. Even for a brown girl like me who is normally afraid of sunlight. This was a really relaxing yoga routine and it also had moments of strength and stretching. I learned that I am apparently flexible with this cow face yoga movie. Like girl I never knew I could do a yoga move at all let alone one called cow face!
