86.115 - 114.849 Brittany Broski

What's going on, broski nation? Damn! It's time to be annoying. It's time to be annoying. Guys, put on those hats, hands on the wheel, veer very hard into the left lane, okay? Brick on the gas pedal. We are so back. I've been gone. I've been gone, okay? I always say this. I take a break. I have a freakout. I come back. I take a break. I have a freakout. I come back, okay?

0

115.953 - 145.895 Brittany Broski

This last time, hey, nothing really happened. I just, I lacked time management skills. And hold on, I want to give you guys a warning up front here, okay? Got back late last night from Eddyville. It might still be, I don't know, remnants. There might be remnants in this sort of flesh cavern that I've got going on. This flesh cavern that I'm housing, that I'm nurturing and healing.

0

146.036 - 169.259 Brittany Broski

You know what I mean? So they have these ones, like I'm going to be out of it today. I just want you to know. They have these ones that are like watermelon flavored. Oh my God. Oh my Lord, are you serious? Does y'all's grandparents ever used to tell you that if you ate watermelon seeds, one would grow in your stomach? What a cruel, unfunny joke.

Chapter 2: What was Brittany's experience with Core Power classes?

169.9 - 194.673 Brittany Broski

Up until the ages of probably, to be completely transparent, 15, 16, I was like, I can't hide watermelon seeds, and I'm gonna look pregnant. And then I'm going to look pregnant. Okay, guys, what's been going on? Man, it feels like forever since we've kind of spoken, you know, in this strange, dystopian, parasocial way. Let me just get comfortable here for a second. What's new in my life?

0

194.733 - 215.304 Brittany Broski

Here's something that I need to speak about because I need to bitch and complain, okay? So we're gonna, look, let me get this rant out of the way, let me talk about this, let me talk about this, and then I'll move on to some funny stuff, okay? Here's the deal. Actually, before we do that, let me just get this in really quick, because this will be coming out on election day.

0

215.765 - 234.36 Brittany Broski

Holy fuck, please go vote. Hello, hello, are you 18 and up in the continental United States? Not even continental, are you in the whole United States? And have you registered to vote? You know, in some states, if you are not registered to vote, I'm literally like pleading with you on my knees.

0

235.12 - 256.192 Brittany Broski

If you have put it off until literally election day, some states, you can go in, when you vote, you can register to vote the same day. So you can register and then you can vote the same day. If you waited, y'all, seriously, I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed, go fucking do it, okay? Truly the fate of the country is in our hands.

0

257.112 - 286.631 Brittany Broski

And that's kind of all I want to say on that is that there is a reality that we might face that scares the living shit out of me. Okay? So please, please vote. Please vote, please vote. Okay, moving on. I want to talk about Pilates because what the fuck are you bitches smoking? Okay, Pilates was just playtime. is an adult playground. Like, truly. Okay, here's the thing.

287.492 - 310.712 Brittany Broski

Let me give some background. I have PCOS, as we all know. Woo! Where are my big forehead, balding, fupa-having PCOS sisters? Guys, throw a fist up in the chat for the PCOS women, okay? And people. You don't have to necessarily identify as a woman to have PCOS. Okay, here we go.

312.537 - 333.991 Brittany Broski

PCOS has a whole just amalgamation of different symptoms that for the longest time were attributed by most doctors to just being overweight, right? It took this one doctor who Remy Ashton recommended to me, God bless her, that really tackled what the syndrome is, you know?

334.051 - 357.046 Brittany Broski

And not a lot of doctors know a lot about it because it's one of those things where it's like, well, if you have all these things, it's probably PCOS. the diagnosis was correct. I mean, I can only assume. All of my symptoms, irregular periods, thinning hair, strange body hair, like all the, like something was wrong with my hormones and with my ovaries.

357.106 - 369.792 Brittany Broski

So that being said, I have always been, as we know, as we know, a little tubby, okay? And I say tubby with a capital T. I say tubby written in bubble letters.

Chapter 3: How does Pilates differ from other workouts?

521.048 - 541.534 Brittany Broski

And so she was like, you need to start working out. I said, okay, well, I don't have the discipline nor time in my schedule, me making excuses, to prioritize that. And she said, have you ever done a workout class? And I said, no. Like, no, I think I did Zumba with my mom in 2011. She was like, try a workout class.

0

542.775 - 573.639 Brittany Broski

And luckily enough, the same day, my friend Meg had texted me and she was like, do you want to come to Core Power with me? Now, what the fuck is Core Power? Oh, I was soon to find out, okay? I was soon to figure it all out. Core Power? is actually gonna be a HIIT workout class, and whatever the fuck you core power bitches are smoking, it's cheap, okay? It is a form, I think it's masochistic.

0

574.499 - 607.154 Brittany Broski

What you bitches do at core power, I think it's sick in the head. Here's my experience, okay? And this is no hate to core power, it just was not for me. I go in thinking it's going to be a yoga class. I go in thinking it's going to be breathe in and breathe out. Good gratitude for your body. Okay. First of all, I walk in. She says, get a yoga mat and get weights. Weights?

0

608.439 - 641.453 Brittany Broski

Okay, and so she said, get light and heavy weights. I said, heavy? And so I got two pound, five pound. Bitch, five pounds is heavy when you're doing . Girl, that's heavy. So I walk in, I say, okay. I'm there with my friend Meg, we get the mat, we get the weights. Mind you, it is 95 degrees in this room. Immediately, I'm mad. It's 95 degrees. It is hot core power sculpt.

0

642.294 - 664.721 Brittany Broski

Bitch, this was a HIIT workout class for like a professional dancer is damn near what it felt like. I walked in there. I said, I did not realize I was Wildebeest Adams. I did not realize I was Matt Stefania. unity, and diversity, okay? Jade, what was her name? Chinoweth? God, I loved her.

Chapter 4: What are Brittany's thoughts on Anthony Bourdain?

1077.276 - 1102.598 Brittany Broski

Burpees? Burpees just feel so like high school track to me. Do you know what I mean? Like I immediately was like, oh my fucking God, I hate burpees. I get dizzy. My ass gets dizzy. And then I feel like the fat girl. You know what I mean? So we're in this, we start to do burpees. Okay. I'm pissed off. Then she goes jumping jacks. I'm like, oh, I can do jumping jacks.

0

1103.178 - 1124.853 Brittany Broski

Did I wear a supportive sports bra? No. No, I did not. So I was in pain. I'm hot. I'm in pain. And I don't feel... Okay, so we're doing jumping jacks. And I did like this part. Okay, we'll say about this, about the class. There's music playing the whole time. Was half of it Ed Sheeran? Yeah. Do I want to work out to Ed Sheeran? No. Okay, we're doing jumping jacks. And she starts doing...

0

1126.306 - 1149.79 Brittany Broski

Up, down, up, down, up, and you slap your thighs. And I was like, that's fun because we all got into a rhythm. We were all on tempo, okay? No one was dragging. No one was, it was very nice. I looked around, I said, damn, okay, I can do this. But here's the thing about jumping jacks. Why are they hard? When you do 40 jumping jacks, they're hard. Anyway, so we do jumping jacks, whatever.

0

1149.81 - 1167.201 Brittany Broski

Then we're on the floor. Then she says, get on the fucking floor. We incorporate weights. I can't. Okay, and I say that very literally, couldn't do it. I started to see spots in my vision. I genuinely, it was so hot in this room.

0

1168.522 - 1190.234 Brittany Broski

The weights were too much because at this point, you've been going for 40 minutes, like trying to do five pound weights and squeeze my glutes and then you put your bicep into your, I could not do it. Then that makes me feel weak, then it makes me wanna give up, and then I do give up, okay? I gave up, but part of it was, hey, I'm about to pass out. I went to go sit against the wall.

1190.974 - 1211.54 Brittany Broski

Then that made me feel worse because I was like, I'm looking around and everyone else can. So here comes the rant. Okay, here's the rant. I'm looking around and everyone else is doing it, can do it, will finish. Like in their little aloe yoga, Lululemon bullshit, like matching set. And I started to feel so out of place.

1223.337 - 1223.317 Brittany Broski

95.

Chapter 5: What are Brittany's reflections on her future?

1224.198 - 1245.483 Brittany Broski

That's like doing a full workout in the Texas sun. There's no fucking way, like I will die, I will die. So I went to go stand out in the hallway and drink my water and I just like, it washed over me this wave of that shame of being in middle school or elementary school or high school, being the fat girl in PE, okay?

0

1245.584 - 1251.867 Brittany Broski

And if you've never been overweight, you don't really know that feeling, but if you have been overweight, hey!

1345.516 - 1372.7 Brittany Broski

It was not something I expected to happen, was to return to that mental space of being... the biggest person in the room, the last person to finish the exercise, if even finish, fitness gram pastry test, run the mile, do the crunches. I couldn't. It was so hard and embarrassing. There's nothing more humiliating than being in middle school, period. That's the end of that sentence.

0

1373.24 - 1399.249 Brittany Broski

And then the next thing is, you know, being the big one. And that was a product of My family, the way that I was raised, you know, that if you would just lose a bit of white, boys would like you more. I'm at a point now, let me clarify, that that doesn't fucking matter to me. And like my body is not a piece of iced sculpt for men to enjoy looking at. Like my body is a living, working machine.

0

1399.269 - 1425.024 Brittany Broski

I have a much different relationship with my body now than I did as a 12 year old. However, being in this core power class, feeling like the fat girl again, having to walk myself out of the room over the cattle grates into the hallway, like a heifer. I was, I was not having a great time to be euphemistic about it. And so I went back in cause I was like, I'm not going to quit.

0

1425.125 - 1438.918 Brittany Broski

I just needed to like, truly I needed to get out of the room. Cause I was going to pass out. I go back in the room. I finished the last like 10 minutes of the workout and I did it on my own time. and I only did what I knew, okay?

1438.938 - 1452.946 Brittany Broski

If they're like, do the fucking triple downward dog, you even put your leg to your left bicep forearm, great, and breathe outward, two, three, four, good, now the five pound, I just did what I knew, and I did not stress myself out.

1453.747 - 1477.733 Brittany Broski

And I know that a lot of you workout class girls in the comments are gonna be like, that instructor should have helped you, they should, you can always do it on your own time. No, no. Because if I don't know the moves, I can't do it, right? Okay, anyway. My experience with Core Power was less than ideal. It did not make me feel strong.

1477.854 - 1500.588 Brittany Broski

I think it was jumping into the deep end with this idea of a workout regimen. I don't work out. Like I'm going from genuinely zero. I do not move my body. The most exercise I get is walking around airports, truly. Like those are the only days that I meet my fitness goal, quote unquote. And my doctor literally telling me like, you have to move your body. You're losing all this weight.

1500.608 - 1527.086 Brittany Broski

You're just going to be skin. And I was like, I just got a surgery. And she looked at me. She said, no, you need to go to the gym. And I said, so core power. After that, I went home and I was sore the next day. But it was that good sort of sore where I was like, this feeling does make me want to keep going because I got through that shit. I didn't fully give up.
