After the BD Lep put on us Saturday, my glutes have not felt that kind of pain since…well let’s not go there. So I racked my wicked little mind for something that would loosen those glutes right up, why not Jazzercise. So going to trusty YouTube (half of my inspiration, the other being the 2.0’s), and voila:
Condition

I enjoy the creativity, and if you can’t guess by now, I like to incorporate exercises that make us look funny (Inferno has a deeper rooted guilty pleasure I must admit). As we go through our typical routines to sharpen us as men, I like to borrow from our opposite sex for routines that can improve our flexibility. I also severely lack any choreography skills, so wait till the next Q to see if I can improve on it (I’ll post some homework – a video worth watching).
I’ll share a revelation I had at the end of 6th grade, I had a number of cute coeds in homeroom that I befriended over the school year, but never had more than verbal shenanigans, so low and behold we were in the last hour before “School was out for Summer” when I thought (out loud) “Can I have a hug too.” To my surprise, all those coeds each gave me a nice full on hug. Sometimes you have to get in touch with the feminine wiles and you’ll be pleasantly surprised! More to come…
