After getting some really poor results in the gym for the last couple of days, I have stepped it up and went wild back to my old style of “blocking out everyone and do my thing”.  This technique worked out lovely today.  I didn’t see it coming because earlier in the morning i wasn’t feeling too well and had a massive headache.  But after reaching home and having a #nice conversation with my brother and his progress after his first semester in college, (in which I am very proud of this young man) and grabbing an advil, I was ready to get a move on the day. Got to gym at 7:56 am, and proceeded to go ALL THE WAY IN. I was so energized and happy, its showed all over the gym, as I had fans watching do my thing.  I went in on some push ups, sit ups, crunches, yoga, calisthenics, and weight lifting while jamming to my music playlist that I designed to get my super hype out of any bad moods, which includes: J. Cole, Fabolous, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake, Red Cafe, Pryme City, and my cool artist Kennie Dubb.  Let’s just say today in the gym was a good day.  I enjoyed myself and let loose.  I love a good workout.  Thank you Bally Total Fitness.
