Guest guest Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 MEET ME IN THE SPECTACULAR LOUNGE! Monday, 24 October 2011 I woke up this morning with so much energy I didn't know what to do with it all. In fact, I think I'll bottle some of it to sell later in the ship's little shopping center. LOL. But first, I'm gonna spend some of this energy in our very first Rise & Shine mini-workout. We're all up early this morning to get our day started. We'll get in our wake-up workout then go over our itinerary for the day. In this morning's Rise & Shine class, I'm playing two great songs to get everybody going. In this morning's Rise & Shine class, I'm playing two great songs to get everybody going, Super Bass and San Francisco. Today's featured Hollywood studio is United Artists. This studio was formed by silent movie stars including Charlie Chaplin, Pickford and Fairbanks. Some of the movies they brought to us were Some Like It Hot, The Graduate, Rocky and the Bond movie series. After we review our day, we'll head for the Gold Pearl Restaurant for our morning breakfast. Carnival makes the most delicious Egg Beater omelette and I really like their oatmeal, too. After breakfast, we're going to play a little game called Exercise Charades. Let me tell you how we'll play it. On the stage, we'll have a bowl filled with little pieces of paper. On each piece of paper will be printed the name of a cardio or stretching exercise movement. And like with regular charades, which ever movement someone draws from the bowl, they'll have to demonstrate how it's done and get everyone to guess what it is. As each of the movements are acted out, I'll talk about form and the right way to do that movement. For those Cruisers who may have special physical challenges, I'll demonstrate how to adapt the movement for their special needs. And for a little added fun, some of those pieces of paper in our bowl will contain the name of a well-known movie. If you pull one of the titles, then you'll have to act out the name of the movie. This is gonna be fun! In today's Sweatin' class, we'll be working out to all Broadway show tunes. Whew...are we ever gonna sweat our way down Broadway! Everyone will learn more about the right way to do all of the movements. And they'll be able to perform those movements correctly in our sweatin' classes and when they return home. After our game of charades, we'll break for lunch and later that afternoon, here comes our first big exercise class together. In today's Sweatin' class we'll be working out to all Broadway show tunes. Whew...are we ever gonna sweat our way down Broadway! Tonight, we'll all get gorgeous for our first formal night at dinner in the Gold Pearl Restaurant. Oh, I just love these formal nights because I love seeing everyone looking so fabulous in their great outfits...even after all of that sweatin' we did earlier this afternoon! LOL. Tonight, I'll be taking individual photos with everyone for them to take home and remember this special week with. (These photos will remind them of how beautiful and handsome they all are, too.) It's going to be a long day and a busy one, too! Yep, it's going to be a long day and, just like all of our days at sea, it's going to be a busy one, too. After dinner and pictures, I'll head back to my cabin, go out on the balcony and gaze at the stars before saying my prayers and getting a good night's sleep. I hope you're eating well and exercising every day this week, just like we're doing on our Cruise To Lose. Don't forget to say your prayers before turning in for bed tonight!
