1st New Thing - TRX Rip Training

Today during the lunch hour, I attended a TRX Rip Training class at Englewood Recreation Center. "The TRX Rip-Trainer is a three dimensional (3-D) training tool that delivers intense core work through functional movement, promoting proper posture and core stability. You train every muscle in the body how to move with precision and power." Here is a picture I got from the internet:
There were only about 6 people in the class. We all stood in a circle facing the base. Each of us had a bar attached to the base with a resistance cord. The trainer led us through variety of exercises in 45 minutes, mostly upper body but some abs and lower body. It was an interesting product and worked different muscles. Overall, I wasn't a big fan of the class, but I think I'll be sore tomorrow so it did the trick!

47th New Thing - Watched Laverne & Shirley

I watched a classic sitcom today from the 70s, Laverne & Shirley . The show aired on ABC from January 26, 1976, to May 10, 1983 and starred Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney. They were roommates who worked in a fictitious Milwaukee brewery called "Shotz Brewery". The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that series as acquaintances of Fonzie. I watched Season 7, Episode 22, "Perfidy in Blue" originally aired on May 11, 1982. This episode started out with Shirley looking for Laverne's favorite blue purse that she borrowed and lost. Laverne asks where it is because she would like to use it on her date. Shirley lies and says she hasn't seen it. Shirley then watches TV and daydreams that she is in the TV show and married. Laverne is having an affair with Shirley's husband and Laverne tries to poison Shirley. Shirley pretends she is dead. Shirley wakes up and ...
