I tried ZUMBA last night. It’s a Latin based dance/aerobics that is more fun than exercise should ever be. It takes the basics of interval training by speeding up your heart rate for a few mintes then slowing it down for a few…all the while you shake your hips and get your groove on. Here’s […]
Although the world is full of fun and diverse people I’ve discovered you can really divide them all into two groups. 1) People who wear spandex 2) People who wouldn’t wear spandex for all the money in the freakin WORLD.

If you’re a regular reader (I don’t mean Metamucil regular, I mean come here often) you know I’ve been in the middle of a 3 week plateau. This plateau sux every kind of ass imaginable. I think it sux unimaginable ass as well. So on my quest to break this plateau, I’m trying things. Like […]
