So, I’ve been working out a lot lately. Mostly cardio on the treadmill or elliptical, but I’ve been throwing in step aerobics on occasion. That’s been awesome and surprisingly difficult. I thought I had coordination. I thought I had rhythm, but when the instructors start calling out the steps, the more I think about it, the more my feet have a mind of my own. Best practice is to just move, move, move. The feet do what they are supposed to.

I’ve been told that in addition to cardio, I should supplement my work-outs by lifting weights. No problem; I like it, actually. I’ve done the Nautilus circuit and free weights on occasion and have seen good results. One thing I noticed that happens when I do the free weights, especially when I’m doing an upright row, the left side of my upper lip curls up like Elvis. Ummm, what’s that all about? I’ve tried biting my lip while I row, I’ve tried opening my mouth wide while I row, I’ve even tried singing while I row. I’m starting to wonder if my trapezius muscle is somehow connected extra tightly to my face, hence causing the lip curl. I mean, is this normal? Am I the only Elvis impersonator in the weight room?
