the next person to join The Motion Room gets a big surprise/prize, sur-prize? anyway. it’s catching on big, it’s also working for me. britt said, The motion room was probably the most fun I ever had in my life working out! Do they regularly do group training? you can schedule group training. casie said I had a blast there too! I would SO be down for a group workout.

looking at these now based on how tired i feel and un-coordinated makes me wince in fear of tripping all over that shit. like how you get vertigo the next day after safely successfully climbing a mountain. yes that’s right i’ve climbed a mountain. look at me, of course i’ve climbed a mountain.

that shirt i’m wearing is a small. when i was done sweating profusely into it it was an extra large. not kidding. so gross also the professional photo lights had us dripping. april shed layer after layer and um, we can’t use some of those pictures.

this move was impossible. we had to move it over to the floor. we outnumbered them so our collective loserness beat out drill sergeant force. all the blood rushed to my brains my head is just too heavy because i have so much knowledge of the universe.

the move we couldn’t do on the balance ball now on the floor. look how painful it is by our facial expressions. killer. burns in your back and abdomen, feels like um, that kind of burning when you are hung and need to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW RIGHT THE FUCK NOW which means it’s working so you shouldn’t puss out, keep going and going if you ever want to look like susan powder.

oh my god this was painful. i also blew it for everyone by breaking stance cos the burn was too intense and we had to do an extra 30 seconds. this was an instance when our collective loserness worked against us. sorry guys.

fitness is uber sexy but in aerobics world you are supposed to act indifferent to the awareness of it.

damn raymz you got muscles now
the next street boners hater is going to get a fist sandwich
If I was living in TO I’d shyly tag along too, gotta get a 6-pac before bikini season. What kind of jams do you listen to while working out?
anything dancey soca lots of current remixes
I’m going to ask my fan to pitch in for 3 months of the 1 on 1 I think. Whip me in shape for summer funner!
I meant fam as in family… Bday gift!
I need a serious butt kicking at the gym. I get stuck in mega no-go ruts.
Agreed, Britt is hot.
can I photograph one of your sessions? i just got a new camera and it would be great practice.
i need to gym again! when when when?
maybe we’ll do one altogether next week.
proud of you, keep up the great healthy work:)
On a weekend!
You are TOTALLY inspiring me to get back into shape. I might be skinny, but I haven’t worked out like you are doing in about 7 years…and with my age I better get back into it, or I’m going to be one of those cranky bitter women soon.
Okay…I’m off to the gym.
You look amazing.
glad you are feeling good too!!
zz
@erica by all means, take my exhausting work photographing sweaty women away from me.
@colleague. ha ha.
I spent 11 minutes writing a comment and when I finally finished Chrome crashed and my comment was not published. So now I will keep it very short and straight to the point. I find something interesting to read on your blog every time I visit it. Respect!
