have you ever seen the movie dreamer? charlotte’s web? uptown girls?
well these three movies and my day today have something in common…give up? dakota fanning!
i worked out with kamilah barrett at cardio barre today and let’s just say i need to get in shape. they had me doing all these things that only gumby should be able to do (i am not the most flexible person in the world). high leg lifts are not my strong point. the work out is absolutely amazing and really fun. i also realized that it is pretty easy to work out in a group of people because you know youre not alone, and the natural competitiveness that we humans have kicks in and makes us work out even harder. after finishing up the abs and cool down segments of the class, it was time to go. our class gathered our things as a new class came in and started stretching. kamilah had told me that she worked with dakota fanning before at cardio barre, but nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen. i looked over my shoulder at the next class and saw dakota stretching in the exact spot that i was just in. kamilah introduced us and i got the chance to tell her how much i admire her and her work.
i am very proud of myself for keeping my cool- after all shes just a regular girl with great talent and a really awesome job.
