Super squats and plenty of planks. Our very first BHIP session was very fun, even though I woke up the next morning with sore quads. What’s interesting to realize is that I never before learned how to do squats properly. I thought all you had to do lower yourself down and then come back up, spread-eagled at the knees. No! You have to stick out your butt as you go. As our coach explained, “It’s like sitting on a toilet seat.” Or “like a Britney Spears video gone wrong.”
I was also very amazed to see everyone’s determination. Some of my classmates were clearly in pain as they did the workout, but they stuck to it until the very end. I was very proud of them. Proud of myself, too.
The coach offered an inspirational quote: “Pain is weakness leaving the body. Don’t be afraid of pain.” Read the complete post....
My jeans fit! Actually, to be more correct, they’re becoming loose. ... I have this old pair of jeans that I love to wear. They’re comfortable and they’re cotton-cloud soft. They were once a very dark blue but have now become a faded blue-white because I wear them so often. But I love them regardless and I refuse to throw them out until they are in tattered piece. ...However, there was always one problem: that pouch.
