The IC’s Top 10
Here are the Top 10 Signs You Know You’re at the Ice Chamber:

#10: You realize you may be submissive when you catch yourself saying, “More burpees, please.”
#9: The one time you forget to wipe your mat down, Maya looks at you and says, “That’s jacked up.â€
#8: “You mean that last circuit was only the warm up?”
#7: You ask Steve to demonstrate a pushup so you have more time to rest.
#6: When someone asks if you’re sore from last night’s workout, you realize you’ve been sore since March 1st of last year.
#5: During rowing someone puts a blue bucket next to you.
#4: After Steve carefully explains the whole workout you ask, “What are we supposed to do?”
#3: You look at Steve and say, “I think I’m going to throw up” and he says, “good that’s 200 calories.”
#2: “Hey this jump rope is broken; it keeps getting stuck on my feet.”
…and the #1 sign you know you’re at the Ice Chamber:
During stretching you look around and think, “I never knew she had a tattoo there.”
definately going to make sure i’m all covered up while stretching…wait you can pretty much see all my tattoos.
#7 and #4 are my favorites. funny s**t dougy.
Very funny Doug!!! I have one to add that only applies if you’re female, You’re at a social function when you say to another woman, “I’m always screaming your husband’s name” and she doesn’t attempt to assault you.
I like #3. How about:
You feel like you can’t do another rep and then you hear, “O.k. folks, that’s it for the warm up.”
AND
You can tell another member how great their body looks without appearing predatory, shallow or just plain weird.
AND
You have a whole closet full of clothes that don’t fit you because, for once, they’re too BIG!
oh and when billy jean stops playing, you’re like pavlov’s dog, and you just freeze for 10 seconds.
this actually happened to me at the IC party, it is ingrained in my muscles.
How about:
You overhear a bride-to-be discussing her pre-wedding goals and realize she’s talking about pull-ups not pounds lost.
You actually look forward to the running part of a circuit so that you can “rest.”
You mention that you are sore and your kid tells you to “take some ibuprofen already!”
You’re actually looking forward to bathing suit season.
I can’t stop laughing. I was waiting for you guys to talk about great songs we completely ruined, but if Billy Jean is the only one, I don’t feel that bad. What about Steve’s house music?
Don’t talk !@#$ about the house music. It’s one of the things that takes my focus away from stressing about you all.
You definitely know you’re at the IC when:
A certain “someone” asks “should I go up in weight or just do more reps?” and the answer has always been “both.”
Definately has to be the Lenny Kravtiz intro, I start squatting when I am out doing that song “kerri-o-key” style…
and those callous…
Yep…Mary J is completely ruined for me…everytime I hear it, all I can think is Tabatas. Why do you suppose Turbo wont bring in any of her music for you to download…
Should I start looping the house music too?
Is that “someone” the same impatient “someone” who has to be forced to take it easy? Forced, as in, injured?
That someone is the same someone who once questioned why tall platforms might not be a good idea to jump.
Thank you sir, may I have another?
Sure. Anytime.
that certain someone is VERY grumpy.
Someone dilikes having an “I told you so moment.” And someone really dislikes watching everyone work out while someone walks on the treadmill.
Mix in a crashed computer and you have the perfect recipe for grumpiness.
yeah…that sucks. i heart you shari!
I heart you too Juliet.
And on the grumpiness scale, I’m really only a 5.
Although I agree that someone is quite grumpilicious these days, I think the experience has helped her put things in perspective. For instance, just this morning, she was quoted saying, “my osteopath said you were right!” You know that was music to my ears. Overall, I would say that someone and I have a much better relationship now.
Wait, you mean to tell me that, in order to keep Seve happy, he has to be right? Maya, do you buy into this?
And more importantly, why is kelly’s name always blue?
Why do you think Steve is always happy?
#1: You know you’re at the IC when Steve happily exerts his authority and no one questions his motive.
I thought it was a center-of-attention thing.
As for checking out your site, do you do any nutrition reporting? I’m thinking about going refined-carb free?
