Free Fitness Movement. All you need to do is show up!
Daylight come when you do-a the crunch…-a . . . “I do the cha-cha like a sissy girl. I lik-a do da cha-cha.” I’m sorry we seem to be having some technical difficulties. In other news . . . [breaks wind].
Here we go; back on track: Workout was great. A few dips, a few trips around the sun, a few hops, and a few push-up drops. E’ry day we were shuffling, and er day we were on a boat crunching. If none of that makes any sense, it either means you weren’t at the workout or I wrote it, or both.
Boy oh boy, it’s shaping up to be a SCORCHER. Good thing you were wise enough to beat the heat (ish) and pull that sultry body of yours out of bed before the sun! …Butt the moon was still out. Ha-Haa-Haaa-Haaaalarious joke.
Shout-out to the nubes (newbs?) [rhymes with tubes] that absolutely flooded the Memorial this morning! We loved having you guys and hope to see you back next week (Friday too)! Great job on the recruiting front, ladies and gents!!
To those who combed the thick book of excuses this morning and found nothing appealing, be proud of yourselves. It ain’t easy [being cheesy] convincing your body that little sleep after a partyful weekend is a good idea, but you guys did it and got a hell of a workout as the reward. That’s the thing about NP; even when you feel, look, and smell like shit, you know there will be someone armed with a hug and a smiling face and a thorough ass-kicking to start your mental and physical day off right. We’re happy to do so and love how pumped it gets you guys, especially you, Andrew. Wow!, that guy stole the show today, skipping eight downhill stairs at a time and handing out motivating double high-fives like we were paying him for it.
Two Baes for the dubliners who had to do that shit twice (also for the two baes Bae had); nice. nice. nice work!!! That is always tough. But what’s tougher is trying to shake that song from your mind. Get out of there, you!
*****Interruption by 6:15 group*****
……You guys hear that shit about 5:30??!! Apparently those early-morning clown-towners worked out during an absolute downpour before we got here!
Nothing to see here… Just a grumpier old man saying, “I’ve had it up to HERE with you; you meddling kids mind your own damn business,” and startling mild-mannered youths.
Waaiiiitttt a tic… I’ve got this all wrong!!! EVERYTHING to see here!
The “older” thing applies, but the “grumpier” definitely does not (except if we’re talking War Memorial staff). And more like “medaling” kids, amIright??!!
Picture this: A cop, a grounds crew member, and an easily agitated neighbor walk into a group of free fitness freaks. A specific NWA track drops and those fitness freaks bus awll dem foos, break a foot off in dey ass, y generally give ’em the business. That’s what happened this morning . . . MINUS the busting of fools, breaking off of feet in any collective ass, and transacting any sort of B2B or B2C commerce, and PLUS courteously responding to all inquiries concerning our boisterous nature and mobile photography studio. But really, thanks for giving us the green light cop and crew dude, and go back to speaking on behalf of imaginary ‘concerned others’ at town hall meetings, pesky neighbor.
New, new, everybody’s new! That’s how 6:15 felt anyway. Increible (con accento) newbie showing this morning and just solid numbers and attitudes all around! You guys are ridiculous.
Also, no rain yet today, so that’s fucking awesome! Could the end of monsoon season be near? Ask Howard…then he’ll check his weather app the same way you would.
Howard’s Halfway to Halloween Hoedown Hootenanny was all it was cracked up to be: Super, Wild, Salty, Dirty, Grungy, Pretty, Galactic, Ballerific, American, Boozy, Pollinated, Healthy, and Sweaty. It definitely was not uniCorny. Newbies shined, oldies whined (not really; oldies kicked flucking arse supporting the newbies this morning), and on the feastival he created, Howard dined! Gotta love the added motivational incentive of a pump-up-partner during the Race Day ordeal!
Was that the sun we (almost) saw this morning? What do you think? Was 6:15 tougher than 5:28? Was it different once we decided pairing hombres up works better than having them run around solo? Did we emphasize the “fire under your ass” aspect of the workout in explaining it to 6:15 so it would exhaust people? Did you #justshowup to find out the answers to these questions? Are you wondering why this whole thing is written in question form? Does your answer to the #justshowup question answer that last question? Yes…?
HAPPY RACE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Spring has [somewhat] sprung, and so has NP Indy! Dishing out (shhhhhh)irts today, we were worried we’d run out with the solid #raceday numbers that showed, which is a good problem to have. Aside from faster times, greater numbers, more than one person wearing sleeveless shirts and shorts, and less laundry, spring also provides us with a wonderful opportunity to grow our tribe. It’s the time of year where people are craving the outdoors, wanting to get moving again, and most notably looking for sweaty hugs from strangers. Fortunately, we can provide all those things.
