I made a new one just for you......You feel special now, don't you?
Apparently both of my yoga instructors have decided that our New Year's challenge is not just planks, which we do several of in every class, but upped the ante with forearm planks this week. On Monday we had to go from a forearm table to a forearm downward facing dog with knees bent and then hold it. Not sure how long (probably 30 seconds, maybe a little more) but felt like forever. The pics show what that looks like--give it a try; uses a lot more muscles than you'd think. After 3 classes with forearm planks and other upper arm work, my arms are killing me today. The instructor on Mondays and Wednesdays is big on core strength which is great--after the class, not so much doing the work.
I think maybe you should just be happy that it isn't as sharp as the one I save for OoO and DiO.........yet
I was saving that as a surprise.......I hear tell rumors say you're upgrading you kit for us this year.
I can say the Zumba instructor new year's goal was to personally kill all of us. She is so motivational!!
It's a conspiracy between fitness instructors, I tell ya!
He also wears his underwear on the outside of his tights.......just sayin'
I am the Man of Steel....
I would love to see that!Oiled feet. It was a disaster. I'm actually a little sore from it all.
I totally agree! Balance, flexibility and core strength. planking!!

This is about what i was dressed in(but my skirt was shorter and more see throughy) when i was doing my famous bellydancerroutine on a stage in front of 250 persons including my teachers at the university. That was a CHALLENGE!
Seriously? That is fascinating![/QUOTE]
If i could i would as they say...... The performance was only preserved on Video and i dont think it was transformed when that technique died onto a digital media.... Just imagine i got three encores. The audience loved me!! So i had a short but successful stagecareer you might say. (Was even asked to perform by a female friend at her party before her wedding. Is it Brideshower they are called in english? When only the bride and her female friends are present?). Of course i complied. Anything for a friend.
Yes dear, whatever you say dear......
You're really just my friend who gets a slight beer buzz, and enjoys sashaying through the house in tights......

I have to go collect sticks and pray that I don't snag my tights.......
Ouch - that looks like it would burn in many ways!

My favorite Zumba instructor left the Y. I'm bummed. And concerned about who they're going to replace her with.

This might be a way to bring in a little extra cash, Kurb! The all-male belly dance show!
Here in the USA we have the Bridal Shower- which is a sit down stuffy affair with finger foods and gifts. And you have to play silly games and open presents in front of everyone. Then we also have a Bachelorette Party, sometimes, I guess it depends on what the bride likes to do. That is the wild night. Drinks, dancing, much silliness. I could totally envision having Kurben the Belly Dancing Hunk come do a performance. And then there's the Bridal Tea - which is usually the day of the wedding, just a fancy little brunch before the girls go get their hair and make up done.

Then a bachelorette party was was it was. The thing with it is that i'm no good at it(bellydancing that is, i had about 45 minutes teaching from a tunisian girl who showed me some moves...). I just throw myself in it and are not afraid to look like a fool which i am certain i did.

I signed up for a Tai Chi course this month - not sure if that helps with balance - perhaps if Tai Chi does not work I will try yoga!
