worst spot in the room I was running a bit late to Buff Yoga today. I came in just as Jess was starting, but the room was full and my regular spot was taken. I had to go to the back. I always thought I would like the back because then Jess wouldn't call me out and I could take a break when I needed, but I hated it.
Real Jobs with Real Deadlines are Stressful After a year and a half of unemployment (and passively looking for a job), two jobs literally fell into my lap in the last three weeks. The first was when I went out with a friend who brought her friend who discovered I was a graphic designer after overhearing my conversation with someone else (still following?). She herself is a graphic designer and was looking for someone to help her out.
I'm back to my crazy workout self At least for today. Although it wasn't supposed to be that way. I skipped Buff Yoga today (the one day Von Hottie decides to go) and instead planned to take Chisel at 5pm with Marc. The reason: I planned on going to movie night at Pier 54 with friends. Movie starts at 8:30. Last week we left Brooklyn at 6:30 and had to sit really far back.
Brooklyn's not ready for Parkour Really. Jay scares them all away. Every week is a completely new group of people. It's a little frustrating for me because it means we don't advance much each week.
nothing to say I did work out today. But nothing exciting happened.
Parkour Basics If any of you were too intimidated to try Parkour, or tried it and decided it was too advanced, the new class at Fort Greene is perfect. I took it today. The room is so much smaller than Kips Bay and Jay had us do the QM's, plank walks, and all that, the length of the room (I was afraid he would do the width but he was being really easy).
and then there were 4 It's interesting how sometimes there are lots of people at parkour and others its just the regulars. Which is was happened tonight. There were 3 regulars and 1 new girl (who was cartwheeling over the vault like she was at gymnastics). We learned a new vault, the turn vault. You place both hands on the obstacle, jump both feet over and land facing the obstacle.
yesterdays workout Got up early and went to Prospect Park for running. I decided to stay back in level 1 for the duration of the class because level 2 is moving to 4 miles and I still have to walk a bit to finish a loop of the park. Level 1 is working on running the full loop. So I did a loop in 36 minutes. Walked back home. Later went to Parkour. CJ was there! There were only 4 of us.
Parkour firsts I still can't do the lazy vault, but today I got both feet over together and I am so close to getting it right. It was also the first time I did a con and got over the step. I've been going to parkour since January. Most people can do that on their first or second class. It just never worked for me, until today.
I joined the 3K club! It was hard work, but I decided today would be the day I pass 3000 minutes. I was pretty far off. So I did wii fit in the morning. Took Vinyasa with Jess at Union Square. Walked to Kips Bay. Was about an hour early for parkour. Practiced some pull ups and dips. Elliptical. Then finally parkour.
Five Days Later... I can finally walk up and down the stairs again without my legs shaking and quads burning. I used to get annoyed at the people who walked slowly on the stairs to the subway but now I totally sympathize. So I went to Parkour on sunday, learned a lot and did a ton of jumping, which resulted in me being unable to walk properly this whole week.
Overheard, or just heard, really Not so much overheard, as reporting a conversation I was in: Me: We need to pay more attention to what is said in the gym! So we can post Overheard on Social Workout. CJ: We can't do that. Me: why? CJ: Because we're the people they're listening to. Me: Oh. Well that makes sense.
which category does parkour go under? I sat at home most of the day. Hula hooped a little. Walked to the subway. Got off at Union Square and walked to Crunch Kips Bay (32nd and 2nd) instead of switching to the 6. Todays workout was Parkour. I still could not get the lazy vault right but I'm getting so much closer. Most of the people were new today so Jay was taking it easy :(
S.H.I.T. Training... Ran over to Kips again for Parkour. Great class. Had a bitch of a time with the backwards safety vault.
... Yesterday was one of those days. It started with me burning my ear with the straightening iron, there was nothing I wanted for breakfast that didn't require cooking and I didn't want to cook. I sat at the computer to work on a monogram i'm designing for a friend's wedding invitation. I must have been staring at the screen real intently because I felt a pain in my eye, took out my lens.
Are you motherf*cking ready for the new S.H.I.T.? S.H.I.T. = Super Hero in Training. I decided that I was going to take the Parkour Revolution class at Crunch Kips Bay. So I started my workout with a run over there. After that since I was early and the first one on the list I got in a simple workout. 4 x 500m row. Inbetween sets of this is mixed in the following workouts.
on failed pull ups/dips and bruised knees I will get a pull up and dip done by the end of the challenge, but today it just wasn't happening for me. I did 3 sets and each time I couldn't get past 4 reps no matter how hard I grunted. But Parkour was awesome. Jay decided to change things up a bit today.
Paleo lunch kept me full all day! That is a rarity. After lunch I always need to snack and by the time dinner comes around I am starving. And especially Thursdays if I don't eat something before I go to Parkour I get a headache but today there was no problem. My lunch was a huge salad, lots of romaine lettuce, tomato and a really big piece of chicken breast, no dressing. It was yum! Todays workout was Parkour.
this weather is messing with my unplugged cardio seriously. I wanted to bike to Union Sq on Friday but it rained. I wanted to run this morning. It was horrible outside but I was going to go anyway. Until it started hailing and I didn't want to get out of my pjs. But I did and changed into my running clothes so that I'd be able to just go. I couldn't get myself to leave the house. Then it hailed again.
i lost my workout post i wrote a post about how pull ups make me lightheaded and i don't hold my breath so that can't be the reason. and i wrote about todays workout, but then i lost internet connection for a couple seconds and during that time my post was lost. i will not write it again. but i did work out today.
