REBIRTH

Friends! Happy Friday! We made it!

If you didn't get a chance to read my post earlier this week on resistance training now is the time! 

Just two days later, the New York Times posted an article about the wonders of weight training. Coincidence? I think not. Never doubt the power of Sweat Please! to influence the liberal media. ;) I'm onto you, Gretchen Reynolds. If you need more reason to start lifting, here's their pitch.

Since putting this blog out into the world I've received such fun responses from friends. One of my favorites came from my former roommate and dear pal, Kara, who forwarded me this gem.  Kara knows how to make me laugh hard and while this has been viral for years, I saw it again as if for the first time. Please do yourself a favor and bask in the healing light of Jazzercise this weekend, "It'll keep you fit AND smiling, sugar!" (watch the video to catch the reference, friends!)

And in case you haven't started following @sweatpleaseofficial on Instagram, I had to re-post the following from Jacqueline Suskin, a poet based out of Los Angeles who writes beautifully and shares regularly. This one is pure magica and makes me feel like it's all going to be okay.

If you're in the Bay Area, head outdoors this weekend! It's going to be another knockout.  If you're on Alameda look for me: I'll be the one walking, slowly, with an elderly pug, singing old school R + B in the sunshine.

Be well!
