So, there’s this new class at my gym. It’s called the Powerhouse 90. And Cute Little Trainer Boy recommended I give it a try to help jumpstart my metabolism and weightloss. He suggested I add this class once or twice a week, on top of my 4-5 days of running and 3-4 days of weight training.
Why not? I think. Hell I have nothing but time now that THE BOOK THAT WOULD NOT END is done. (until revisions, that is)
I’m thinking about trying it out tonight, but one thing has me hesitating…
As you enter the gym, there is a whiteboard announcing the new class. It reads:
POWERHOUSE 90: An hour of sheer torture. Come if you dare.
Or maybe it said, Come if you’re stupid. or was it Come if you want to die today. I dunno, they all sound the same to me.
Still, I’m thinking about going. I mean, I need to do something to jumpstart my weightloss. But the idea of being tortured in a class full of Barbie Hair Girls really doesn’t appeal to me. Especially since I’m about as coordinated as a drunk, 3-legged Elephant.
It really won’t be very pretty. But maybe I’ll do it once, just for the story.
What do you think? Should I stay or should I go?
Go! you can’t look worse than I did the first time I did ‘power pump’ and was swaying with the bar that weighed less than 10 lbs. I couldn’t walk for 3 days, and this was after I was bragging about running a marathon and wanted to ‘tone up’. Yeah, they laughed, real loud too.
Okay seriously after your blog at

I really didn’t think you’d blog here today. I totally cannot believe you are doing craziness 90 with a head cold. You are my hero.
I’m gonna go. The Airborne is getting me through!
You are really working hard and best of luck my friend.
