Today was Dice Roll and Deck of Cards.....my board game nights are forever ruined because of Josh and Terri (owners/trainers of OK Fit). Molly, Monica, and I decided to team up and roll the dice together so we could do all our exercises together....basically, we wanted to be able to bitch about what we were doing without judgement.
There is a list of super-easy exercises (insert sarcasm here) listed on the white board and whatever we roll, we do the exercise associated with that number. We keep rolling the dice until we have worked out for 40 minutes.
Most of the list was all moves I have done or seen before. HOWEVER, one little exercise stood out to me on there....Tire Flips. These ain't no Geo Metro tires....these are Monster Truck, red-neck tires. We have all watched the Strong Man competition where the insanely large men flip tires over and they scream and grunt and act like their testosterone levels are at an all-time high. Wellllll, imagine three moms, in their little black capri running tights, out in a parking lot flipping these massive tires.....hilarious. I am pretty sure every ounce of testosterone that lurks in my body was screaming to be used. Strong Men, I totally get it - I definitely grunted, screamed, spat, and, most importantly, yelled every curse word that made me sound manly. Sadly, we did have an injury to girlie parts (the injured player shall remain nameless) at one point. We were dying laughing and she screamed, "I literally don't have enough breath to cry". Apparently, if the tread on those tires hits you in the right spot, your ability to have children dramatically decreases. :) Ahhhhhh, BC, you never disappoint.
At the end of this lovely 40 minute sequence, Josh tells us to "find a mat", which never ends well for me. Deck of Cards ab workout, obviously. I only tortured my body for 40 minutes, why not add another 10 of gut-wrenching (literally) ab exercises? We went through an entire deck of cards and each card represented the number of reps of an ab exercise- Toe Touches, Mason Twists, Heel Touches, and Flutter Kicks. I mean, I MIGHT have said, "I hate you" to Josh several times throughout the routine....but, for some reason, this just makes him smile and enjoy yelling out instructions even more. Pretty sure if I heard "Mason Twist" one more time, I was going to have to make him smell my armpit or something equally terrifying. Damn trainers and their dedication to making us healthy......
High point: When I started BC, I could only do 1 "getup" (exercise where you lay on your back, hands behind head, and then sit up, cross your legs and stand up without assistance) without using my hands. Today, I did three sets of 10 without using my hands!! Woop, woop!!!
Low Point: My shoes are like three years old and I love them so much because they are so supportive but they look like they have been sitting at the bottom of a river for several months....and kind of smell like it too. It may be time for a new pair of shoes......
