Sweat is dripping onto my shirt as I write this post. Cool.
The other day a friend of mine said that “breakdancers know their bodies so well” in relation to body control. Agreed. Moving my body to do a six-step in beat with the music is more difficult (not to mention, more fun) than bench press.
Last week, I learned how to do Indian Step Toprock standing in one spot. Now, I can do it moving around in a circle AND linking it with Crossover Toprock.
A new move I learned today is a drop, which I’m calling the “behind the knee drop from toprock into six-step.” Maybe one day I’ll learn the actual name. For now, I’m satisfied with “behind the knee drop from toprock into six-step.”
I’m only on day 7, remember, I’m doing this experiment for 100 days. The temptation to stop crosses my mind from time to time, but then I remind myself that “I’m only x-number of days till 100.” And the thing is, after every practice I’m ecstatic that I’m learning.
Okay, so we know that everyone and their mom starts a “new workout program,” we stop for two months, and then start the next fad. My thought is after the initial enthusiasm passes is where most people give up. How many times have we done this? I think I’ve done it at least 57 times.
With that said, setting a tangible goal like “100 days” or “10 weeks” gives us something to push towards the end until we finish.
Tip of the day: Set a goal for how many days of breakdance practice you’re going to do.
Follow the experiment on Twitter. And friend me on Facebook.
