first class
instructor guy wearing a pirate-like black scarf thingy on his head. cool gloves.
but why the gloves, in case he misses the air? bloody knuckes.
says, "is this anyone's first class?"
i sheepishly raise a solo hand.
he looks at me. i hate being singled out.
"name's Rob. you're gonna hate me tomorrow. i hope you hate me today. that's my goal."
great intro. i like it.
i smile sweetly.
"aw, you don't look like the hating kind".
snicker.
no worries.
seems like he designs window treatments on the side.
or bakes scones.
uppercut, jab, roundhouse kick.
keep the chin down, make it a less appealing target to your opponent.
"imaginary opponent", like that term.
roundhouse kick, fast as a boxer's jab.
i feel like a donkey on crack.
with toothpick arms. gotta work on that.
Pirates of Carribean music.
sword move. draw, circle and stab.
hooooo-ahh!!!! love it.
gaze shifts to mirror.
who is that mad woman?
"imagine your opponent. 6'4", 280 lbs.
parked in your parking space.
'excuse me, sir, i'm late for body combat class
and that is MY parking space!!!' "
ok..or another scenario. :)
Pink song. he's going to her concert this month.
thinks he'll let her have his autograph. ha ha.
"next track, you have 5 opponents."
ooh, i like this
hmmmm, let me think, 1,2,3.... (just kidding)
half-jacks.
"ladies, you can cross your arms over your chest if you want.
you won't change my world none."
i LOL. (told you he was HGTV material)
nobody else laughs. they all heard that one before.
cool-down jog around room.
he high-fives me, the newbie.
i resist the urge to try out my upper cut.
naw, he's safe.
"now get your mats....this is like herding kittens."
push-ups, crunches, i'm already hating him.
"this stretch makes me feel like a matador.
no, take that back, I always feel like a matador,
must be those fabulous capes."
the way he says "FAB-ulous"...
oh yeah, designer's eye...
class ends.
i will definitely be back.
love this love/hate relationship.
hoooo-ahhhhh!!!
