Emily Wants To Do Non-Stop Backflips and Capoeira
Every day, we give you a snapshot of one fellow striver in fitness. We ask personal questions, he or she boldly answers. Today's snapshot: Emily, aka Eis4Emily.
- What's your number one workout spot? Five Points Academy. I am addicted to Muay Thai!
- What's your secret (fitness-related) sin? I don't always do as many push-ups as I'm asked to do in class. I hate push-ups!

Sometimes Gym Towels Follow Michelle Home
Every day, we give you a snapshot of one fellow striver in fitness. We ask personal questions, he or she boldly answers. Today's snapshot: Michelle, aka princessmichelle.
- What's your number one workout spot? My living room in Brooklyn! I have a giant mirror, a tumbling mat, 2 hula hoops, some weights, a couple swiss balls, miscellaneous balance things, and resistance bands. When I hook up my laptop to external speakers and blast my favorite Pandora station, it's the best gym ever.
- What's the healthiest thing you eat? I eat at least 1 apple a day, and stick the apple sticker somewhere on my refrigerator. I've collected thousands and thousands of stickers...
Workout
Martelo yo'face!
Muay Thai, roundhouses all day. Elbows and stuff too. I love practicing elbows but its not like we can use them...hmmmph. We did a drill where we did 1 on each side, then 2, then 3. Which burns u out, but I remember once upon a time when I used to do up to 10! but counting down bc its easier.
Workout
Sandwiching some Capoeira play in between Muay Thai classes.
Been hibernating all day and decided I need to get my fat ass out so I took both 5 and 6pm Muay Thai. I had originally planned to train Capoeira but the academy was closed. 5pm class was lots of teeps and knees. Working on timing which I am bad at. After class I got to play Capoeira yay! We got tired fast.
Workout
Switch kicks and jumping kicks.
Muay Thai class was full of switch stance drills. Confused the crap out of everyone.
Capoeira was double jumping kicks. Kinda fun but since I haven't been training much I felt out of it and kind of frustrated. My teacher kicked me in the knee. Kinda scary how people are not as controlled in Capoeira.
Workout
Bonchon Chicken fiasco
Monday: Restday
went to bed at 1am, woke up 7:30am.
Should have totally worked out and binged on bonchon chicken with the guys. Totally regret that.
Tue: went to bed 1am, woke up 7am.
Yoga in the morning on my own. 90min.
5pm Muay Thai -teeps galore. Arnis/Kali -knife work. Capoeira -confusing turns with negativa.
Workout
Back to queda de rins.
sleep log: went to bed at 2:30am. Woke up at 7:30 am.
I found another Capoeirista to play with today before class. It was AWESOME especially since my group is on a retreat this weekend which meant no class...I'm back to sucking at my queda de rins to backbend to negativa. What happened to it?
Workout
Perfecting teeps and why I miss the drum circle.
9am Yoga...I tried scorpion and face planted. Went home and tried it again, landed on the side of my head. Not the business.
Workout
All of my favorite kinds of workouts
Went to bed 1:30am. Woke up 6:15am.
Taught yoga at 9am. It was tons of fun and yay. The girls said they liked it. I don't really know. I felt fumbley.
5pm Muay Thai was fun. I had been away from it for too long! Arnis was great but class was totally packed. Had trouble with footwork. Capoeira included lots of negativa-role's and squats. +50 sit-ups, + 50 push-ups.
so fit and beautiful!!!!
