Ndisisidalwa esiqhelekileyo. Wentuthuzelo. Yokuyidlala ikhuselekile. Ndiyazithanda iindlela zam kunye noluhlu. Imilenze yam kunye neti. Ndisebenze kwinkampani enye kwaye bendihleli nomfana omnye iminyaka eli-12. Ndihleli kwiflethi enye ngo-10. Izithende zam ezi-esile ezikhulileyo zihlala phantsi kwedesika yam emsebenzini ngenxa yokuba andinako ukuzikhathaza ngokuzigqiba ngempelaveki (asoze ndikuyeke, i-athleisure!) mhlawumbi olona lonwabo lukhulu kubomi bam bobudala yibhulukhwe yemali yemali endiyifumene kwiKrisimesi edlulileyo. (Ubomi. Ukutshintsha.) Masingayiqalisi nento yokuba ndinendawo yokufudumeza kwigumbi lam lokuhlala, igumbi lokulala, *kunye* neofisi.

Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo bendikwanjalo, ngokungaqondakaliyo, umlawuli wedijithali e Ubume kwaye Ukomelela owayengakhululekanga eshiya igumbi lakhe lokuhlala kunye neeDVD zakhe zakudala zikaJillian Michaels HIIT. Ndazixelela ukuba andikuthandi ukubaleka ("andiyombaleki nje!"). I-yoga ethiyiweyo ("Andiguquguquki!"). Kwaye ukuba ubutyebi beeklasi zokuqala zokuzilolonga eNew York-apho bendihlala ndikwazi ukufikelela SIMAHLA kuba yinxalenye yomsebenzi wam-ibingeyiyo eyam ("Ndixakeke kakhulu, kwaye andinguye kuloo ndawo." )

Amandla amaninzi engqondo achithe ukubhala zonke izinto endingezizo. Zininzi ke izizathu. Kodwa ngokunyaniseka? Bendisoyika qha. Ndoyika ukuba xa ndibonisa ukuzilolonga njengommeli we Ubume ngokugxininisa hayi ujonge njengoJillian (i-realtalk: Ndibe nzima kunye ne-10 efanayo, ngamanye amaxesha i-15-eyongezelelweyo iipounds iminyaka), abantu baya kundigweba. Ndoyike ukuba ndiza kujongeka njengesidenge xa ​​ndingazi kakuhle ukuba mandenze ntoni okokuqala (ukugcwalisa okungenanto) kwiklasi. Kwaye ndisoyika ukuphuma kwigumbi lam lokuhlala elitofotofo apho ekuphela kwabantu ababebukele yayiyikati yommelwane kunye nabasebenzi bokwakha abaselumelwaneni.

Kuqala ukubaleka

Inqanaba lam lokuqala elincinci lomntwana ngaphandle kwegumbi lokuhlala belibaleka. Kwiminyaka emibini enesiqingatha eyadlulayo, andizange ndibaleke ngaphezu kwemayile enye okanye ezimbini kwisithuba seshumi leminyaka. Mhlawumbi ixesha elide. Ngubani owaziyo?! Kodwa ngempelaveki yoMdyarho waBabhinqileyo beShape, ndiziva ndikhuthazwa ngamabhinqa ali-10 000 awayehlanganisene ukuze abaleke ugqatso lwethu, ndenza into engaqhelekanga kakhulu: Ndabopha izihlangu zam, ndaphumela ngaphandle ndaza ndabaleka. Hayi kude, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ayithandeki, kodwa ndiyenzile. “Ngubani okhathalayo ukuba aba bantu bangacwangciswanga esitratweni bacinga ntoni ngobuso bam betumato-andisokuze ndiphinde ndibabone,” ndacinga. Kwaye ndothusile isihogo ngaphandle kwam ngokuyithanda. Ngoko ndaqhubeka ndibaleka, ndisiya phambili kancinane yaye ndikhawuleza kancinane nyanga nganye. Emva konyaka ndabaleka ugqatso lwam lokuqala, iBrooklyn Half Marathon. Ukubhiyozela, ndongeze "imbaleki" kwi-Instagram bio yam. Usile, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa ukubanga ilebheli esidlangalaleni yayilinyathelo elikhulu. (Leliphi ixesha lokuphila, amiright !?)

Kwaye ngaphandle kokwazi ngengqondo-kunye nokushumayela imini yonke e Ubume!-ukufumana ngaphandle kwendawo yakho yokuthuthuzela kwaye ubhiyozele oko umzimba wakho unako Ngaba ineetoni zezibonelelo zezempilo, ekugqibeleni bendiqala ukuyikholelwa nyani.

Ke iYoga

Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva, ndaqala ukudlala ngothando ngombono weyoga. Ndazi ~ ukuba ndiyayithanda. Ukuba ndiyayithanda imiba yokugxila kunye nokucamngca, ukolula okunzulu kwezihlunu eziqinileyo ekusebenzeni nakwi-HIIT, nkqu ne-woo-woo yokucula kunye ne-chakra yeshishini ngamanye amaxesha ebandakanyekayo. Jonga, jonga, jonga. Kodwa bendisoyika kakhulu yile mbono bendinayo entlokweni yam (kwaye, inyani, inyanzeliswa yi-Instagram) malunga nokuba yayiyintoni iyoga. Andikudlalisi xa ndisithi andiguquguquki: Nokuba bendidanisa phantse yonke imihla njengomntwana bendisakwazi ukwahlulahlula. Akukho nto malunga neyoga ye-YouTube endizame kwigumbi lam lokuhlala yayintle, nditsho no-Savasana. Kodwa emva kokutsala kunye nokutsala iinyawo, umntu endisebenza naye wazithathela kuye ukuba andaluse kwiklasi yam yokuqala yeyoga eLyons Den eTribeca, isitudiyo esidibeneyo seBaptist.

Abahlobo bam bacinga ukuba ndiyaphambana ukuqala kanye ngeyoga yamandla ashushu. Njengoko ndandihleli ngokungathandekiyo ndilinde ukuba iklasi iqale, apho wonke umntu owayendijikelezile wayebonakala ngathi uyazi ngqo ukuba mandithini kwaye ngandlel 'ithile wayebonakala engoyiki kwaphela kukuba yayiziidigri ezingama-90 kunye ne-AF enomswakama, ndacinga ukuba nam ndiyaphambana. Yintoni enokuthi ingonwabi kunokuba uzinyanzele ukubila kunye nokugoba ngeendlela ongenakukwazi nokugoba xa uneminyaka eli-11, ukwenza ulandelelwano lwezinto ongazi ukuba uzenze njani, ujikelezwe ngabantu abathandekayo, uLulu onwabileyo Ngubani na ozenza ngokukhululeka konke oku kungasentla?

Kodwa sele uyazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni emva koko, akunjalo? Ndiyayithanda. (Ndiyayithanda. It ndinengxaki yokubonisa ukuba ndisayithanda kangakanani, kodwa kungcono ukholwe ukuba ndongeze "yogi" kula profayile ye-IG. Kwisithuba esingaphantsi nje konyaka ndiye kwiiklasi ezingaphezu kwe-100. Ngaba ndisasokola? Ngokuqinisekileyo. Kodwa uluntu apho luza kuzo zonke iimilo kunye nobukhulu, kwaye akukho zibuko ke kufuneka unyanzelekile, umamele ngokunyanisekileyo ukuphefumla kwakho kunye nomzimba-kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ihip-hop ukuba iklasi yokubetha.

Yenza Zonke Izinto

Ukoyisa uloyiko lwam lweyoga kundenze ndaqiniseka ukuba ndibeke usukelo olunamabhongo njengenxalenye yephulo lethu #MyPersonalBest eliqaliswe kulo Januwari: Phuma ngaphandle kwendawo yakho yokuthuthuzela kwaye uzame iklasi entsha yokomelela rhoqo ngeveki kaJanuwari, kwaye kabini ngenyanga ukuphumla konyaka. Ke ndaye ndajoyina i-ClassPass ndaza ndaqala ukuqhuba iiklasi: I-Barry's, i-ballet, i-FlyWheel, i-barre, i-CrossFit-zonke izinto esithetha ngazo imini yonke apha Ubume kodwa endingazange ndibenesibindi sokuzama ngaphandle kwendlu. Ndabopha abahlobo kwiprojekthi yam, ndadibana neklasi ye-Spin endaweni yeziselo. Ndiqale ukuya kwi #ShapeSquad yethu yokuzilolonga kunye nabanye abasebenzi bethu endaweni yokucenga. (Lowo ndinebhongo ngawo.) Uthetha ukuba kufuneka ndizame ukuzilolonga okutsha esidlangalaleni KU-FACEBOOK LIVE? Gulp. Kulungile.

Ngehlobo, ndandibe ndonwabe kakuhle ngale nto yokuzama-into entsha yokusebenza. Kwakungasaziva yoyikisa, kwaye ndafumanisa ukuba andiyenzanga inkathalo ukuze ndibukeke ndisisidenge ekuqaleni (okanye ngonaphakade, ukuba uku-aqua spin class). Kwaye umntu unokucinga ukuba oku kunokuba yinto eyoneleyo yokukhula komntu ngonyaka. Kodwa hayi! Xa uNike efika kum ukuze abone ukuba kukho nabani na kubasebenzi bethu onomdla ekubalekeni iHood ukuya eNxwemeni, umdyarho weemayile ezili-199 ukusuka encotsheni yeNtaba yeHood ukunqumla ePortland ukuya eLwandle, eOregon, ingcinga yam yokuqala yaba hayi "Ndingayicima bani le nto?" Ibiyinto ebengasoze ayicinge tu kwaphela kuAmanda kunyaka nje odlulileyo. Ndacinga, "Hmm. Le nto ibonakala yoyikeka kakhulu kwaye ayikhululekanga. Ndimele ndiyenze." Ngaphandle kokucinga ngakumbi kunoko, ndazibhalisela ukuqeqesha abaqeqeshi ababini beNike abakumgangatho ophezulu kunye nabanye abantu abangabaziyo abali-11 kangangeeveki ezisixhenxe, ukuze ndihlale nabo kwiiveni ezimbini phantse iintsuku ezimbini ebudeni bogqatso, ukubaleka imilenze emithathu nangaphezulu. Iimayile ezili-15 ngaphantsi nje kweeyure ezingama-28, (ngesisa) iiyure ezimbini zokulala kwindawo ebandayo ebandayo.

Ndenze Ntoni?!

Kwakungekho nxalenye yomzimba eyandoyikisayo. Kuyabonakala ukuba, ndiyakonwabela ukuzibeka kwiimeko zokuzilolonga kakhulu, kwaye bendisazi ukuba bendiziqeqeshe mhlawumbi ndingalunga. Hayi yayiluqeqesho nabanye abantukunye nokubhalwa kwayo yonke into eyoyikisayo. Kungenxa yokuba nangona ekugqibeleni ndandithanda ukubaleka, ndandingakhange ndiyenze into eninzi mva nje, kwaye naxa ndandibaleka rhoqo kwakuyinto endiyifunayo ndedwa. Kuya kufuneka ndibuyele kwisantya ngokusebenza veki nganye neli qela labantu elikhawulezayo, elinamandla, elinamandla likhuphe ukungazithembi endicinga ukuba (ikakhulu) boyisiwe. Ukulandelwa ngeenxa zonke ngabathwebuli beefoto kunye nabafoti bevidiyo ukuze kufuneka ndizibone ndibila kwaye ndisokola, ukuphanga kwam impahla kunye nobuso bam obunobunkunkqele bobuso? Kulungile. Loo nto yavelisa iqela elingakumbi. TBH, ukuvuma konke oku kwi-intanethi? Kananjalo ayisiyonto intle. Ngokwenene, ngokwenene akukhululekanga.

Kodwa nina. LENTO. Yilapho kanye apho kwenzeka khona umlingo. Kuba ndiye ndafumanisa ukuba ukubonisa veki nganye ukuzilolonga nabasebenzi ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka kwam kundityhale ngamandla kunokuba bendiya kuzihlalela. Yasityhala ngakumbi. Ndicinga ukuba onke amalungu eqela lethu elinabantu abali-12 abaleke i-PR ngexesha lomdyarho. Ndibaleke ngokukhawuleza kweemayile ezi-7 ebomini bam. Kwaye ndijonge ezo foto kunye neevidiyo, ndibona umzabalazo kunye ne-jiggle, ewe, kodwa ndiyazingca ngale ntombazana engazange ishiye igumbi layo lokuhlala iye kwi-yoga kunyaka ongaphambili.

Phambi komdyarho, bendikrokrela abantu abathi ukuqhuba iHood ukuya kuNxweme kutshintsha ubomi. (“Yiza, lugqatso nje,” ndacinga njalo.) Kodwa uyazi yintoni? It wayenjalo guqula ubomi. Kwakungekho nje olo qeqesho kunye nabaqeqeshi uJes Woods kunye noJoe Holder baphucula ifomu yam kwaye bandityhalela ukuba ndenze zonke izinto zokugijima endandiziphephe (molweni, iinduli kunye nesantya!). Ayiphelelanga apho yethu i#BeastCoastCrew yaphela ilusapho oluxhasayo, oluhlekisayo, olukhohlakeleyo endikulangazelelayo ukubaleka nalo rhoqo. Kwakungekho nokuba amava omdyarho ayenamandla-ukonwaba nokudinwa, ukuhleka kunye neenyembezi, ukuduma kunye nokucula kunye nokuqaqanjelwa ngumkhenkce kwaye ewe, ukugijima. Yayikukuqonda ukuba le nto yokuphuma-yakho-yokuthuthuzela-yone ngokwenene, iyasebenza ngokwenene. Njengokuqeqeshwa ukuphakamisa ubunzima okanye ukubaleka ixesha elide, ukwenza izinto ezikoyikisayo kukwenza womelele. Kwaye xa uqaphela ukuba nzulu emazantsi emathumbu akho, kukwenza ube nesibindi. Kukwenza uqiniseke. Kukwenza uzive ungowamaqhawe ahlekisayo.

Ukuqiniseka, izinto ezininzi zisoyikisa. Ndisasiva elo lizwi lisithi "igumbi lakho lokuhlala nalo mbilo we cashmere ubungekhe ubengcono ngoku!?" (Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo.) Kodwa ngoku ndiyazi. Ndiyazi ukuba lo nyaka utshintshe indlela endicinga ngayo ngam kunye nezinto endinokuzenza. Ndiyazi ukuba ukuzenza ungonwabi ngenjongo kunye nokutyhala ngequbuliso kwenza imiceli mngeni yokwenyani yobomi buzive bungenakoyiswa. Ndiyazi ukuba andisayi kucinga ukuba andinakukwazi, kuba andikakwenzi. Kwaye mhlawumbi sonke esi sityhilelo sobuqu siyinto wonke umntu esele eyazi. Kwimeko apho, molo, ekugqibeleni ndilapha kwiqela! Kodwa ukuba akunjalo, ndizenza ndingakhululeki ngakumbi kwaye ndabelana ngayo.

Kuyavela ukuba ungazoyikisa ngenene ube ngumntu onamandla, ongcono, okhawulezayo, onesibindi. Ndiyincoma kakhulu.
