Workin It While Workin Out

I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to be on the beyonceamberrosealiciakeys level. A few pictures of Amber Rose on her way to/from the gym made me think one thing: I have to step up my fitness wardrobe. For a long time I could care less how I looked at the gym, but now things have changed. I don’t see the harm in looking good while I’m working towards looking better. It makes me feel better when I can see my results instead of covering my body in big, baggy t-shirts and sweats. Not to mention it makes since to wear apparel that is actually designed to make your workouts more comfortable (lightweight, absorbent, etc). Here are some items that I would like to enlist in my “work it while working it out” arsenal. I can't really buy them at the wholesale price so I'll search my local Marshalls/TJmaxx for some less expensive options.

Spinnin on the bike jus like a CD rom

Last semester I started a cycling recreation class offered by my school. I was really excited to do it because 1. I wanted to change up my workout and 2. I heard from almost everyone that it really challenges you. So in order to step my beyonceamberrosealiciakeys game up, I put the pedal to the metal. I liked it so much that I signed up again this semester. Now I don’t know what it is, but this time around I’m getting my butt kicked! It could be because I have a new teacher (actually 3 b/c we had 2 substitutes ), but I’ve been getting my ass handed to me. Still I enjoy challenging my body and pushing it to the limit. I can see and feel a difference in terms of strength/technique now verses when I first started. Today was one of the hardest days yet. I was sweating AK47 bullets in that piece! Just when I thought my legs would give out on me, my new favorite workout song came on…. “Come here rude boi boi can you get it up, come here rude boi boi is u big enough” aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww shoot now!!!! I damn near fell off my bike tryna wind and spin at the same time. That song gave me the extra push I needed to put in work and I felt so good once the session ended. It really goes to show you what a difference music can make in your workouts. Too bad I can’t customize a cycling playlist, cuz I would have it CRUNK in dere yeeeeeeeeaaaahh oh letS do it! lol
