Day Nineteen: No. Just No.

Rarely do I ever pitch a fit as badly as I did on today's workout videos.

The first one was a favorite of mine, one based on stretching, and I liked those. They're laid back, they're easy to me, and they make me take the time to consider my movements. I wish that there were more videos like those ... sitting there, stretching out, thinking about the movements and all the many parts of it is a good exercise for the mind.

The second video was the one I cursed at. A lot. Who knew these seemingly basic movements would be so hard? It's not so much the actual, physical, movements that bothered me. It was the length of them. I was sitting there for minutes, tail stuck in the air in a basic bridge, sweating it out.

This video required an endurance I just didn't have. My legs struggled to stay up, my breathing struggled to keep up, and I felt cramps coming on. I didn't make it through this video. I had to break a few times. These made me hurt. I don't know how she managed to do it for as long as she did (it was like five minutes, seriously) but I had to take a break midway through and I didn't want to do the rest. Not. At. All.

That video kicked my tail.

The third video was just ... no.   

I didn't see the new Great Gatsby movie. I heard it was decent but as far as respecting the source material, it really didn't. I love the Great Gatsby as a book. I hated it at first, like everyone else, but it just got better and better every time I read it. It's a book that really ages well.

I can't stand what the new movie did to the music. It's just horrible. They took modern pop and infused it with period music. I looked at this video and just didn't do it. I fully admit it. I won't be caught dead dancing to this music.

I can dance in the shower and make up for it.

Anyways, today was not as much a success as yesterday. I feel like I got beat by that second video.

Thanks for reading. See you guys next time for Day Twenty, which will just be observations of what's gone down so far.
