Day 35: P90x and Locking?

This week has been quite interesting. This past Friday, I was introduced to a new style of dancing called Locking which is a style of funk dance and street dance, which is today also associated with hip hop. A group of us assembled and went to a dance studio at GMU. There were several people broken down into 3 sections relating to the style of dance you wanted to learn: Popping, Locking, and Break Dancing. My friend Mike, who is a "Locker", took us out there and showed us some basic moves to get us started. It was quite the experience and after 3 hours of intense practice I was able to get the hang of it.

By the time I got home, it was 11:30 pm and I had to workout. I think my friends have officially declared me insane for my late night workouts. It is great to be able to balance my social life, family, exercise,work, and my faith which are all important facets of my life. I think with p90x I have developed more strength and stamina to be able to physically and mentally to do the things I enjoy.

On Saturday, my boys and I went to Champps to watch Uconn and Michigan St play in the final four NCAA basketball game. After the game, I was offered to go Line dancing, but I had to do my P90x, so I respectfully declined. I think the last time I heard country music was when I lived in Ohio during my residency. Well, I hope those who went had a good time! I think I will stick to Locking for now...lol

By the way, my cousin is starting the P90x program. We talked for about an hour and I was able to give my complete outline of what needed to be done before, during, and after the program. It is awesome to see people jumping aboard the P90x program. If there is anyone out there reading this blog that wants to start, I will motivate you and give you the quips and pearls to get started.
