Body Combat class, again.

***** Photo Coming Soon!!!!!*******

 

Not feeling like going to class today,

but I must.

Physically, I could use a long soak in a hot tub. Muscles already tired.

But my spirit's raging,

need to fight.

Mind, body, soul, need to punch and kick.

Here we go, I'll sneak in the back, hope Mr. Rob

doesn't see my half-hearted jabs, wobbly round-house kicks.

Feelin' like a noodle.

Gotta get in shape, purge my inner demons, so to speak,

Kill those shadowed enemies.

I can do this...

Today is New Launch Day,

meaning they're teaching brand new routines.

Also taking a class photo. (wait for it- coming soon on Facebook!!)

Warm-ups...Rob's sipping his muy grande Starbucks beverage again.

(gotta get me one of those next time..)

He explains some new moves, this time from "Capoeira", including the term "jenga" (sp??),

meaning "swing", I think.

Tells us that today we will growl till we whimper!!!

"What? You don't believe me? Wait till you try the new Muay Thai trac,

it's a real puker!!!

mmmmm, sounds nice. can't wait.

I'm feeling feeble already, taking it slow.

Like before a dance audition, where I'm just learning the moves,

"marking" it without giving it my full effort.

But Rob keeps pushing us..

"GO MAD CARY MOMS, FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!"

"Next track is Karate vs. Taikwondo".

I can't even remember what some of those moves were called,

and it's not long before I'm feeling strangely light-headed.

must. get. out. now.

At the break I use the excuse of re-filling my water bottle,

just to step outside the room a minute.

I almost flee. But return, and with the help of a handful of my kids' fruit snacks I find in my purse,

I regain enough energy to finish the class.

Am glad I did.

Arms and glutes on fire,

750 calories burned (says Rob),

Opponents knocked down.

For now at least.

Just don't make me angry.

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

:)
