Inspiration/Perspiration Fridays
A Total Body, Mind, & Spirit Workout
FitnessFlirter: This week I tried a new class (new to me) called Rhythm Ride. It is modeled after New York’s popular Soul Cycle which now has availability across the US. The experience takes a traditional cycle class and blends in a total body workout with a core and arms focus (we do push-ups using the handle bars and use weights at the end). The music and instructor keep the messages positive and motivational which feeds your soul.
The class I took focused on opening our hearts and being grateful. Today I am grateful for finding this new class which is a total body, mind, and spirit workout. The inspiration has stuck with me all week.
Smiling, Kindness, & Exercise Are Key
LaFitterina: I appreciate being reminded to center my thoughts on components for making a day seem successful. I’m oh-so-guilty of frittering away each day, and thus goes my life, so I’m in constant need of advice for shifting a day (or a life) into one that feels successful.
To go along with all the great MoveGirlGO tips this week, I also found a handy and upbeat list on the omniscient Internet, specifically WikiHow. Seems like smiling, kindness, and exercise are key — if I remember that all weekend, I’ll bet it will be a success.
Emerson Versus Addams…
Mizzfit: I came across this comparison in a book and thought I’d share it with y’all. Let me know who you think had the better idea, whose words work best with your life?

After considerable thought, I vote for getting things done that are part of your dream: Keep on doing what you believe in doing. Overcome obstacles and fears as they crop up, but don’t go out looking for fear in order to conquer it. Keep energy focused in a more positive direction. Soz, Waldo.
Yes, I too tend to veer towards Ms. Addams point of view!
I first had to look up the definition of the word decorous — “In keeping with good taste and propriety”. Today I think we call it “politically correct”. I definitely need to make myself do things that are uncomfortable, going beyond boundaries imposed by self and society. While both quotes are wonderful, I vote for the top one.
Pray tell, Gizelda, what ‘uncomfortable’ shenanigans are you going to get up to?
