Who could proudly stand beside me?/ Who will love me as I am?

It's been a loooooooooooooooong time since I've written a random post in honor of lists (not really and I know that these are some of my more ridiculous posts, but whatever). To remedy this, here is a post of all the random exercise fads/trends I've attempted in my life.
  • Treadmill running: I watched OLTL and eventually became very, very bitter.
  • Ballet and American clogging: At the same studio; they go together well.
  • Irish social dance: We moved and this seemed like a good option; I got really good at it.
  • Reformer Pilates: The running thing led to a busted back, so I got very into Pilates. I got super spoiled taking 5+ classes a week at my college gym, eventually being invited to join the advanced class. I had no idea how good I had it.
  • Half-marathon training: I decided my back was well! I decided that running 17 miles was good half-marathon prep! I decided not to run the half-marathon after all.
  • Zumba: I've always had hips, so I figured that I should use them.
  • Bhangra: I heard this was a killer dance workout, and I loved the instructor.
  • Hip hop: I am so white, but I'm good at memorizing choreography, so it sort of balanced out.
  • Pole dancing: This always looks so amazing, but my fear of inversions was just too much
  • Barre: There was a studio super nearby with a thing that's not groupon but like groupon but some proceeds go to charity? I don't remember what it's called. And I wanted to get back into dance (barre is NOT dance).
  • Flying trapeze: Because I'm still breathing
  • Trampoline: Because I have to for flying
  • Static trapeze: Because it's pretty
  • Lyra: Because I like to spin
  • Spanish web: See above
  • Silks: Because I'm a masochist
  • Acrobatic partner balancing: Because Drew
  • Spin: Also because Drew, but I actually fell unexpectedly in love with spin
  • Insanity, T25, P90X, etc.: Josh and I got seriously into these and now do a huge mix from a lot of Beach Body options. I guess I started with hip hop abs after I stopped taking hip hop, and then did Insanity and had a sort of whiplash experience from the differences in Shaun T
  • SolidCore: See Silks.
