The not so good news is that basically, my body hurts. I’m sore. I feel my muscles straining. I’m just plain sluggish and a little disappointed that the things I used to do with ease as a kid  (like cartwheels…jumps and kicks) are no longer easily administered. A few times during class I laughed out loud in response to how ridiculous I felt not being able to flip my body like my ‘brain’ was hoping for…..sigh

Yet, there is hope. After Thursday’s poppin class the instructor GWO said my deliver reminded me of the dancer Zero…..hmmm flattery is definitely the way to go build self esteem. lol. I am not as good as Zero and I virtually have no free-styling ability (frankly if the instructor isn’t dancing along with me. I probably won’t stay on beat) but I am inspired to push myself to the next level and use my tools more.  Yes, the body is a tool and if you don’t use it, stretch it, work it out…..it WILL NOT perform to it’s full capacity. Lesson Learned.
