I am at a strange point in the workouts. I will be in the middle of a routine, and the
exercises are introduced by Tony. I know
exactly what’s coming up…but when I start into the routine, it feels like I did
that set (Kempo X for example) just a couple of days ago. It has been like that now for a couple of
weeks. It never feels like the last time
was a whole week ago, it feels like yesterday sometimes. It’s very weird. I will see certain cast members and it feels
like we were just doing this.
I know all the exercises.
I even know all the dialogue in my head.
I know Tony’s bad jokes…and I know when he is taking breaks. I know when a move is about to be corrected,
so I do it before it is said. I am also
counting in my head.
I know all the spots in the routines where the moves are
shortened or messed up. I know that in
Yoga, the first side worked out is always longer than the second. Maybe Tony runs out of patience. I know that, in Yoga, when I am in Downward
Dog and need to pull my knee to my chin, that it is three times on the right
but only two on the left, so I do one more.
I know the spots where it feels more like a race and less like Yoga.
I know which cast members I look forward to seeing and which
ones I don’t. What I find strange is
that I remember the names of the ones I don’t like but I can’t recall the ones
I do.
I know Wesley Idol kills me.
I hate watching him through the Kempo X routine. He is always dogging it. He doesn’t even look like he is trying. The worst is that he has to stand next to one
of my favorites, Tony the ex-marine, who always uses great form and gives it
his all.
I know I really can’t stand Dom in the Plymetrics. Bouncy Dom.
It’s not because he can bounce either…it’s because he’s doing all the
exercises with some weird form that seemingly is meant to simply show off that
he can bounce. If I didn’t squat deep
into the exercises, like you are supposed to, I could do what he is doing. All he is doing is going for height and
distance while putting no intensity on his legs. When he has to actually squat…he is toast. Nothing annoys me more than when he is
spinning into the 360 degree jumps to show off.
He looks like a child in third grade.
He bothers me.
I know that I always smile when I see Sophia, the girl studying to
be a dentist. She makes me smile. She is like that girl in your high school
class that was always quiet but steadily doing what she was supposed to, like studying. She never uses weights but I don’t care.
I even know when the camera is unflattering. Like in Legs and Back, when they have used
too much pancake makeup on Dreya and she looks like some kind of Michael Jackson
freakazoid in some close up shots.
It’s all bleeding together.
I think that’s good. I don’t like
it when my life feels like it is moving at that pace…but I don’t really mind
when P90X does that.
I think if you find yourself feeling this way…you are
consistently bringing it and doing it right
