Skip the squats, try four-square?
If your physical peak was in the third grade as the reigning queen/king of Red Rover or hopscotch, you may be jonesing for a throwback to the blacktop days. Clearly, you need to move on -- but before you do, indulge your nostalgia at Punk Rope this week.
Yes, it's truly a jump rope fitness class, but unlike the soundtrack to your glory days (did someone say NKOTB? i heart joey), the Punk Rope folks actually get you going to some decent tunes. Normally classes are set to classics like The Ramones, but this week the theme is "Get Ready for Some Football," a mock tribute to the upcoming Super spandex'ed festivities. Don't worry, the music is still at its inspirational best (Queen, Joan Jett), and you even get to try out your own touchdown dance. You know you want to.
This week is your last chance to check out Punk Rope, so "skip" (ha) the excuses. Physical exertion not much of a motivation? How about post-class happy hours? There's nothing like a night of jumping rope and slugging $2 drafts.
