Controlled Falling
The main reason why Lil Ms Saggybutt exercises is probably for moral support, to help ME achieve my weight loss goals. Saggybutt is not exactly overweight. Personally I feel that what she should do most is squats and lunges to devil-up her butt and thighs. As you’d expect, lunges and squats is what she hates the most, and of course this is why she earned her endearing name “Saggybutt” in the first place.
However, Saggybutt is willing to come walking with me (I have included a picture of Saggybutt as proof), albeit not always out of her own will. Every day, it takes quite some persuasion skills to get her out of bed and join in my morning walks. One day we wanted to really “gun” it, in order to shave a few minutes off our usual route that normally takes us exactly 30 minutes. I was thinking, the more of a sweat we break and the higher we get our heart rates, the more fat we burn.
Initially Saggybutt braved it and powered along with me. Somewhere along the half point mark, she began to lose composure. Her arms started to flail about like on a rug doll, her steps turned from sporty-poised to rhino-thumping, and at the end she displayed locomotion that can only be described as gravity-propelled controlled falling. Towards the end of our walk, she had the healthiest skin color I’ve seen on her for a while! I told her that, but at that time she wasn’t receptive to compliments. Funny, that.
