ouch
Still sore from the video I did yesterday and my legs shake every time I take the stairs. My ballroom dance class (45min) was fun though, and I did some yoga (15min) to help stretch everything out.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to do a strength workout, so hopefully that actually happens and I don't wuss out.

Must Emote

Thank you social workout for being the best site ever!
Thank you social workout for being the best site ever! I tirelessly log my workouts every nite through my tiny, not so advanced cell phone on the train, all sweaty after hours of dancing/yoga/kickboxing. I look forward to the monthly feats and challenges. Can't wait to receive my prize for most dance hours logged! To celebrate I will dance!

Mariko Runs on Neon Sports Bra Energy
Every day, we give you a snapshot of one fellow striver in fitness. We ask personal questions, he or she boldly answers. Today's snapshot: Mariko, aka marikorose.
- What's your secret (fitness-related) sin? Honestly, it's how much I don't workout. I'm a senior in college and generally busy and stressed. My schedule isn't healthy or regular! Unfortunately I usually pick sleeping a few more hours during the day over going to the gym. Which is sad because exercise helps with stress. It's a downward spiral that I'm trying to remedy by doing yoga in the mornings. After I graduate (In less than two weeks!!) all bets are off.

On Antenna and Body
Our bodies are at once the receiving and transmitting stations for life itself. It is the highest wisdom to recognize this fact and train our bodies to render them sensitive and responsive to nature. art and religion.

"HOW LOW" CAN YOU GO?

Wherein Sasha P-R writes in from Los Angeles with the down low on a hot new class... -The Eds.
Walking into a dance studio in Los Angeles often feels like stumbling onto the set of Fame. Everyone’s got leg warmers, jazz shoes and sexy-sporty dance pants. Choreography blows by you at break neck pace, but your fellow classmates bust moves like they’re in a Janet Jackson video. Looking around, you realize that most of them are, and/or they are a member of the Pussycat Dolls. And all you wanted was a little cardio.
There is one increasingly hot dance hub in L.A., however, that's got your back if you're a mere mortal. Appropriately enough, it's called Your Neighborhood Studio. YNS is across the street from Smashbox Studios, in the old home of Debbie Allen’s dance academy, and it's keeping the faith with the motto, “When in doubt—dance!" The studio offers the full gamut of classes, incuding ballet, jazz, hip hop, and modern, as well as burlesque, street tap, Bollywood, and "strip hop." BUT, arguably the most popular class on the schedule goes down at 9:30 A.M. on Saturday mornings....
