    I did a back handspring in Puerto Rico two weeks ago when I was wasted

    That is a front walkover and you know it, Jia. :-(

    I didn't understand how the gym lockers worked. I locked myself out and almost had a panic attack.

    Well at this point, the writing was on the wall.

    I love it when you folks go to weird workout things and then write about them. I wish you had brought Rich and Caity along. I am trying really hard to figure out how one goes without working out for two months to a year though. My mind is blown. I think my muscles would atrophy.

      I haven't worked out since forever. Like, I played sports in high school. Which ended 12 years ago. I had free gym access in college and I went literally once.

      How are your muscles doing? Have they atrophied? Do you work on your feet? are you an active person without working out, or do you just sit around all day? Are you in decent shape? I am just so curious because I don't think I know anyone who doesn't work out.

    Serious question about Soul Cycle, why do you have to strap into a stationary bike?

      I think it's so that you are pulling up as well as pushing down. On a regular bike it's so you can ride more quickly/efficiently, but maybe it also changes up the muscle groups you are using on the up or down part of the pedal?

      ETA: This is mostly a guess, so anyone feel free to disagree with me.

    I will readily admit that I am weird and love going to the gym, but Soul Cycle scares the shit out of me. I'm in NYC, and it's like a cult. They post about it on Facebook, they wear the branded leggings, they carry the branded totes, they call each other Soul Sisters.

    I admire your bravery.

      It's kind of like CrossFit in that respect. I have always wanted to try it and I incorporate it into my routine, but, at the end of the day, I've been a little frightened to actually go in there.

      I also enjoy the gym, but, like, I just want to hang out on the treadmill, maybe some bike, some light weights. Hardcore gyms with strong followings creep me the fuck out. I don't need to bond with my gym, I just want to do some cardio not outside, you know?

    Jia: Yo, do you always get free green juice at SoulCycle? Is this what it feels like to exercise regularly and eat green juice???

        I wonder how things would have gone if this took place after the Lifetime Aaliyah movie.
