Turtle kickboxing

When did the gym become so packed? I stopped by after a 6 month hiatus (see gym bag story) and every machine was either being used and showered upon by sweat or broken (probably rusted by sweat). Poor exercise machines. Its not easy being stepped on all day.

So Jbear and I snuck in half way through a very packed, very warm, slightly smelly turbo kickboxing class. I loved it! I didn't know what we were supposed to do because the instructor kept disappearing in the crowd but we mostly jumped around to cheerleader music on speed. Totally took me back to my DDR-ing days. I can't lift my body weight or run in circles very well but when it comes to bouncing around my inner Tigger comes out. Jbear wasn't as big of a fan. I don't know why guys think it's only for girls. "Kick" and "boxing" are words that should appeal to males, right?

Afterwards, I told some roommates about the class and they thought I said turtle kickboxing. One thought it was like kickboxing with very slooooow movements. The other thought I spent my night kicking real live turtles.

I think turtles are rather cute so I'm glad I did not find any clear pictures of someone actually kicking a real turtle. Instead, here is a silly doodle.
