today was technically our “day off”.
by day off it meant we still have class for 6 1/2 hours with no breaks, but we did not have a night performance. By the end of the day I was frustrated– it has been an exhausting few weeks leading up to our first weekend of performances, and tomorrow we start performing again. While I love performing, and especially love performing my show, it is both mentally and physically exhausting.
I made the most of my night off and attended “Cardio Tai Box” at Crunch Lafayette for the first time.
I’ve been watching a lot of MMA with my boyfriend, including this weekend’s female fight. These ladies were TERRIFYING and not to be messed with. I harnessed my inner MMA fighter at “Cardio Tai Box” and pretended to be a total badass.
The class was great, the teacher Melody was the perfect combination of intimidating and encouraging. I loved the structure, similar to a zumba class, we warmed up and the rest of the class was various points of building up to a climax and then working back down. It was your basic cardio kick boxing class, jabs, uppercuts, kicking, the usual mixed in with jumping jacks and squats for a full body, cardio work out.
It was exactly what I needed to get rid of my frustration from the day. Amazing how sweating and punching can make me feel so much better!
It was nice to take a night class for the first time in awhile, especially because I was way too sleepy to go to 7AM yoga today, oops. I will go to early morning conditioning tomorrow, I WILL! I WILL!
Countdowns:
-4 more performances (which I am so excited to get to do this show 4 more times!)
-1 week from now I will be in California
– 1 week and one day from now I will be at the happiest place on earth- DISNEYLAND
I can do it!
