Happy Twitch!

So I recently got into CrossFit, and got turned on to Chip Conrad's (BodyTribe) work/philosophy by our very own Vector. Naturally I picked up the BodyTribe DVD's and was checking them out on the flight out to Portland, and had to fight the urge to try out some poses and "frolicking" in the aisles. I could only imagine how the flight crew would react!

 

But wait, what? A portion of Brutal Recess was filmed at Recreate Fitness in, wait for it, wait for it.... Portland! Sweet!!! I am on my way to Portland!!! So I looked them up and scheduled a walk-in class for Monday morning and am ridiculously stoked and excited! I actually wish that the weekend was over so I can go bust my ass Monday morning Super psyche!!! WOOOOOO!!!!

 

Now returning you to your normally scheduled broadcast.

BTW if any Portland area Nerd would like to meet up please drop me a message!

Ohhhhh ya, That is what I'm talking about

 

Recreate Fitness in Portland is an amazing place and the people there are very friendly and helpful. I got my first taste of doing some of the moves from Brutal Recess, and whoooo buddy! The dvd sure makes it look easy, and my legs are saying I told you so! The kettle bell workouts/warm-ups were a lot of fun!!! I think I am in love with doing a "halo rotation" with a 25 pounder All of the sudden being single isn't that bad. *Note* If I make a post hinting that I am cuddling with my kettle bell please send help immediately.
