[Remember to act surprised<\/a>, dammit!]<\/p>\n

We continue our celebration of Week 12 of P90X with a deep-dive into Ballistic Stretches.\u00a0 Or as I call them: Total B.S.<\/p>\n

Clearly Tony has run out of things to do to occupy us, so he’s just throwing in some Total B.S. to fill up time.<\/p>\n

It completely\u00a0reminds me of\u00a0“Stations” in highschool gym class.\u00a0\u00a0 “Stations”\u00a0was the day – once a semester or so – when the gym teachers were so exhausted from intro-ing\u00a0us to\u00a0square dancing, jazzercise, badminton\u00a0etc that they just gave up and had nothing planned.\u00a0 Instead,\u00a0they set up “Stations” around the gym.\u00a0 Which\u00a0basically consisted of 1)\u00a0that metal contraption that houses\u00a0the basketballs placed\u00a0by ONE\u00a0basketball net\u00a0pulled down from the rafters;\u00a02)\u00a0some orange cones lined up in the other\u00a0corner of the gym for scooter races (but no scooters); 3) some mats set on the floor by the “ropes” (not that we would\u00a0EVER voluntarily\u00a0do anything\u00a0THERE!).<\/p>\n

I always preferred the unofficial “Station”\u00a0located on the bleachers.\u00a0 Huddled with the other\u00a0Senior girls.\u00a0 Where we compared\u00a0hairstyles and talked about\u00a0all the\u00a0kids dopey\u00a0enough to actually change into their gym clothes during “Stations.”<\/p>\n

I mean, really.\u00a0 What a waste of time!!!<\/p>\n

Which is what Tony is doing when he throws in some Ballistic Stretches – which are basically just circles-in-the-air you make with your arms, and\/or arm-wrap-arounds\u00a0applied to\u00a0your upper body.\u00a0 Or as Tony\u00a0calls it, “the lovin’ and the huggin’ of thyself.”\u00a0\u00a0Said in his\u00a0demented, faux-preacher voice.\u00a0 Gaaah!\u00a0 It’s just\u00a0so horrible I can’t even talk about it anymore.\u00a0 Other than to say that I’m a total dumba$$ for having gotten changed into my gym clothes for this\u00a0B.S., Tony.<\/p>\n
