Ms. Tina was back today, celebrating life, love and kicking asses. I am trying to double up on her classes when I can, so I can get both the mind and body together. "Celebrate you" was the mantra of the day and she had some of us in tears. I think we forget how much we hold in when it comes to the world and what it throws at you. I know I have been in a state from dealing with emotions, vulnerability and learning to sit in all that. Especially, when I'd rather run. But sitting in it is power and I tried to channel into my workout. From jumping jacks, kicks, reverse lunges, rows, snatches, ploy jumps, fire hydrants and so, so, SO many squats and crunches. Two hours of just focusing on me. I left my workout on the verge of tears but empowered and a little more free. Enjoy your Saturday, everyone! * * * * * #fitspo #iam35 #dirtythirties #thisisme #september #goals #lifegoals #beyourself #workouts #insecurities #training #pushingyourself #weightlossmotivation #weightlosstransformation #thoughts #fckfat #blackfit #blackfitness #fitnessmotivation #cleaneating #thickfit #blackgirlsworkouttoo #crunchfitness #tinathompson #tinathompsonfitness #nohibernationthisfall (at Lower Manhattan)
