Sexercise

Hi, my name is tangy Tammy, and today you're going to get in touch with your inner diva—so, let's dance. On that day, we became voluptuous Veronica, Lacy Laurie, and me Kinky Karon. We are G-string Divas! Not exactly—we are stay-at-home moms, computer analysts, and aerobics instructors. We are all shapes, sizes, ages—everyday women who signed up for an exotic dance workshop to get in touch with our inner sex Goddess. We replaced our tennis shoes for stilettos, our spandex for an oversized bottom-down shirt, and our sweatbands for feather boas. Instead of squats and lunges we did lap dances and hip rolls. Rather than taking off our clothes, we shed inhibitions. Although our futures as strippers are dim (those girls do earn their money), we strutted away with a deeper sense of womanhood. Make no mistakes: we were not there to please our men (although that was an added perk) we signed up for us. So, hear us roar.

Tammy (not a stripper by trade but a woman trying to overcome her strict Mennonite upbringing) danced for us. She was definitely on the man hunt—hungry enough to make us women blush—yet she danced so gracefully and looked beautiful as she demonstrated what we were about to learn. We giggled and glanced nervously at one another. Tammy sensing our fears assured us that, "There's no right or wrong way to dance; it's an expression of you, and that's what you have to look forward to—exploring your sensuality." But before dancing, we had to learn the basics. Our warm-up, therefore, was a little unconventional; it wasn't cardio in the traditional sense but more like psychological cardio. We learned to walk the talk: first, by standing in 4-inch stilettos and then learning to walk in them. Not a typical walk, but "I'm on the man hunt walk, " which combines a step-drag walk with a little hip thrust.

Then we did the unthinkable — we looked at ourselves in the mirror while walking back and forth across the gym floor. Good eye contact radiates confidence, and connects you to others. Mastering our sexy stiletto walk was hard enough, but now we had to practice our best "eat-um-up" gaze. Tammy said, even if you don't feel confident pretend you do, because eventually you'll feel comfortable in your own skin." Okay, Victoria Secret model I am not, but I was feeling fairly confident in my strut — singing, "I'm going to strip my fears away...I'm going to strip" ... and just like that, I detected a few double digit dimples on my thighs. Enough trauma to stop my sexy stiletto eat-um-up walk in its tracks. After the initial shock, I tried not to focus on what I perceived was wrong with my body. "We all hate something about our bodies, " Tammy said, "so let's focus on what we like about our bodies."

This inner body work proved more taxing than the actual workout. But any stripper will tell you that the foundation behind this exotic dance trend (the hottest workout in Los Angeles) is to erase judgments, and feel comfortable in your own thoughts and feelings so you can express your sexuality through movements in the body—hum, do Momma strippers really teach their fledglings this? Apparently they do, "What you think is what you feel and what you feel is what you project, " states Laurie Conrad a 20-year veteran professional exotic dancer and creator of this workout. As a group, we did cheer one another on and I think we all felt safe to explore the movements in our bodies—maybe there is something to this stuff!

Now that I was psychologically in tune, we switched to the good, sexy fun moves, hip rolls. We tried them all—stationary, revolving, and squatting—and finally I felt like my abs were getting a bit of a workout. Imagine a beam of light traveling though the center of your body. Now picture an imaginary circle drawn on the floor. We were to trace that imaginary circle with our hips, making various balls—basketballs, soft balls and golf balls. Now, I know how dancers get enviable abs! Stationary hip rolls no problem, but Revolving rolls were tricky, and I don't think any of us felt like a pro. We had to draw a daisy petal on the floor with our big toe to create a hip circle at the same time turning our body—a circle within a circle. Next, squatting hip rolls. We started in a catcher's position, aching and curling our lower backs in preparation for the actual hip roll. Once we were ready, we arched our lower backs to circle the hips behind the body and rounded our backs cat-like to swing the hips through the front of the body to make complete circles—even working up a sweat and a pretty good leg workout too.

To transition to the floor, we tried kneeling hip rolls, which is a hip roll performed on your knees—kneepads make this transition so much smoother. However, you can also gracefully move to the floor in other ways: slithering down the mirror or crawling cat-like on your hands. Once we were on the floor, we practiced neck rolls, lowering and lifting the legs and rubbing the legs together in what's called a cricket pose. The floor work is the most sensual part of the dance—any pose can be sexy if you trace the lines of your body—and can put you and your partner in the mood for the final act: The Striptease. Enter the bottom-down shirt. To practice what we just learned, we combined these three segments of the workshop to create a striptease—remember the striptease is an expression of you. Imagine a lazy Sunday—your husband is still asleep, so you slip out of bed and put his shirt on. You sneak into the other room to put on mood setting music, Barry White! You sexy step-drag walk (mentally psyching-yourself up) to the bedroom. Your husband now has one eye open, so you begin to undo one bottom at a time. But you stop to tease him with a few hip rolls, and—well, the rest is up to you!

Certified Mobile Technician, but not an expert, May I please get some assistance? Thank You.?
Hello everyone, I am in the process of working on a vehicle. I?m planning on turning an old car that?s just sitting in the garage into the decepticon, soundwave. To those who are transformer fans, you know who he is, to those who aren?t, he?s a transformer robot that transforms into a micro-cassette. The reason I choose this character is cause a feature he has is attacking with sound, and with approx 2000-watts pounding, that?s gotta annoy a lot of people in the neighbourhood :P Before any questions arise I just want to say I work at CarStar so I do a lot of automotive body work and deal with a lot of work on cars, I am also certified with MECP , however I am not an expert on the practical end of car audio, but to become an expert you gotta learn from the experts, which is why I?m here. So I do hope to get all the help I can get and I thank you all for your help in advance. Thanks. So this is my project, as I stated earlier I am turning a Chevrolet cavalier into what I in-vision soundwave would be if he were a car. I?m not gonna explain how I?m gonna pull that off, just trust me, I know what I?m doing. But as for the car audio part, now that I?m no expert, so here?s where I need help. These are my products; I have 2 Clarion DPX1800?s and 1 Clarion APX4240 Amps. For my subs, I will have 2 or 4 10? Kicker L5 Solo-Baric Subs, wired at 2 ohms from 1 DPX1800 amp, from the other DPX1800 amp I?m gonna pound a 15? Kicker L7 Solo-Baric Sub. Now my APX4240 is gonna power 4 Focal PolyGlass 165 VR3. Before I begin I just want to say, I?m not gonna mention grounding, as that would be obvious to do, just a heads up. Now this is what I plan on doing, upgrading the alternator to 160amps, changing the battery to an orbital cycle extreme-duty battery, and of course, upgrading the ?big 3?. I was gonna get a 250amp or 300amp anl fuse and an anl fuse holder and wire all of it from the battery to the trunk with 1/0-AWG wire. The I?ll distribute it into 3 4-AWG wires. The 3 4-awg wires would each connect to a 1 Farad cap, then connect to each of the amps. Then from the source unit which I haven?t decided on which to use, having my remote startup wire and 3 rca audio cables going down the other side of the car to each of the amps. The Clarion APX4240 amp I?m gonna wire to behind the source unit and connect them to the harness?s speaker connections. Then I?m gonna connect the Focal PolyGlass 165 VR3 cables to the original wiring with a wiring harness and just do a little custom work to have it all in it?s proper location. Now the Clarion DPX1800 amps, I?m gonna do some custom trunk work and I?ll be connecting one DPX1800 at 2 ohms to a 15? Kicker L7 Solo-Baric Subwoofer with 10-awg speaker wire. With the second DPX1800 I?ll be connecting at 2 ohms to 2 or 4 10? Kicker L5 Solo-Baric Subwoofers with 10-awg speaker wire. I believe this is the proper way to do this procedure, however as I mentioned before, I?m no expert. So I need to know if this is correct, or if anyone has a better wiring method, or any advice and knowledge that can lend me a hand in this journey of mine. Thank you in advance, i appreciate all the help.
